^I don't understand what savings would have been made.^
Some of the following *growstuff.
Non teaching staff furloughed (especially TAs)
Caretakers and grounds staff
Resources- paper, photocopying, laminating
Catering and food costs
Transport
I'm not saying a huge amount in the bigger picture, but more than enough to buy the sanitisers and signage needed.
Just coming back to this.
Non teaching staff and caretakers weren't furloughed.
Schools have spent more on paper and photocopying because they've had to send work home. They've also send lengthy booklets with information for the new academic year home.
Schools don't pay for catering and food costs - parents do.
Schools don't pay for transport - parents do, with some subsidies from the local authority.
So where else have they made savings? As far as I can see, they haven't made any.
