Calculation details
Funding is allocated based on enrolments and resourcing model for deaf facilities.
Deaf schools with secondary enrolments are funded at a rate of 1 FTE for every 6 enrolments.
For example: A school with 8 secondary enrolments will be funded for 8 secondary enrolments divided by 6 FTE = (8/6) = 1.33 FTE (rounded).
This is then multiplied with the interpreter staff salary rate (including school oncosts, leave loading, short term relief).
