View answerMy Department received applications for special education resources from the school. I intend that all applications for SER received by 30 June will be responded to before the commencement of the 2004-05 school year. Applications for resource teacher support that were received between 15 February and 31 August 2003 were considered. Schools were notified of the outcome and whether resources may be put in place immediately. Applications received after 31 August 2003 and by 30 June 2004 will be processed in the near future. The outcome will be notified to schools before the commencement of the 2004-05 school year.
