CAPITATION GRANTS
Great difficulty is being experienced by school committees in obtaining cleaners or caretakers for schools and grounds. The capitation grant practically everywhere is insufficient to pay the wages necessary to secure the required labour. There is a strong feeling, based on experience, among individual school committees and associations that the capitation grant as at present is sufficient only for heating, lighting, fuel, the buying of chalk, and the provision of telephone facilities, and other amenities so essential for schools today. Representations to the variou- controlling authorities have recently been made by the Hutt Valley School Committees and Educational Association to divorce the payment of cleaners or caretakers from the school capitation grant. Its representations include the payment of award rates to cleaners or caretakers as additional to the present capitation grant.
