Today I confirmed the start of the school facilities management pilot project, which will offer schools the ability to reduce their role in school property management. The facilities management service is a voluntary service for schools and boards of trustees that want to step away from day-to-day property management. The Ministry of Education programme will consider the most appropriate mix of services and likely cost that could be provided to maintain and improve school property. This initiative is part of wider changes being made to school property management to reduce the time schools spend on day-to-day property issues and support a clear focus on teaching and learning. It is positive that 29 schools in the lower North Island are taking part in the programme. Information gathered will be used to identify opportunities to centrally procure services for all schools, and to inform options for a wider rollout of facilities management services to all schools.
