Supply teacher usage

Amanda Walker made this Freedom of Information request to Lincolnshire County Council

The request was successful.

From: Amanda Walker

18 March 2010

Dear Lincolnshire County Council,
Dear Sir or Madam,

I am interested in the amounts paid by each school in Lincolnshire
Local Education Authority to
third parties in relation to temporary staffing cover. My
hope is to receive an electronic breakdown of amounts paid
through the department's purchase ledger by school.

Notes:
1. I would like the information in electronic format. This should
avoid any printing cost issues.
2. In order to avoid your having to collate information from
peripheral systems, I am willing to accept information only from
your main system (I would like you to advise which system this is).
By main system I mean the system that handles the largest part of
the department's expenditure. If supplier payments are
made through separate systems, then I would like you to choose the
main system for each.
3. The information I require for each school is: School Name;
Supplier name and total amount paid.
4. I would like the information to cover the year 2008/9. I will
accept 2007/8 figures if this is not possible

Yours faithfully,
Amanda Walker

Dear Amanda Walker

Freedom of Information Reference: 08515FOI

Subject: Request for information regarding amounts paid by schools in
respect of temporary staffing cover

I write further to our previous e-mail. Please could you clarify whether
you are requesting the total amount paid by the school or the total amount
paid overall to each supplier, or the total amount paid per school to each
supplier (in many cases schools have more than one supplier).

Please could you also confirm whether you would like us to limit the
information supplied to just temporary teaching staff or whether you would
like to include other type of temporary staff such as cleaning staff and
special speakers and sports instructors etc.

I await your clarification. Your request will be placed on hold until we
hear back from you.

Yours sincerely
