The Member for Monaro John Barilaro said in 2017 local public schools will receive $1,709,903 in additional needs-based funding.
“The government is delivering on its commitment to deliver additional school funding based on student need,” Mr Barilaro said.
“These extra resources go directly to our Monaro schools allowing principals to better meet the unique needs of their students and the school community.
“I have seen schools in the Monaro electorate employ additional teachers with expertise to assist students who need extra support in key learning areas like literacy and numeracy.”
In NSW public schools, needs-based funding is distributed under the Resource Allocation Model (RAM), which uses information about student need to deliver resources where they are needed most, consistent with the Gonski recommendations.

· Karabar High School will receive $1 million an increase of $124,816 in 2016
