According to the Canberra Times report of the South Canberra consultative meeting we now know that the Government costings per student include building depreciation and departmental overheads that are roughly proportional to the student numbers at the school.
Minister Barr has publicly stated that no school buildings will be sold as a result of closures. So building depreciation costs will continue, and the maintenance costs will still be borne by the Government. The departmental overheads will remain the same. So just what will be saved as a result of these schools closing?
