Details of Enquiry;
Dear North Lincolnshire Council, Can you please provide information on the Supply Teacher usage and spend for schools during the past academic year. Thank you Yours faithfully, A Keating

Dear Mr Keating,

North Lincolnshire Council spent a total of £1,371,106 on supply teachers
during the academic year 2008-09. We are unable to provide any details on
the usage of supply teachers as this
information is not held by the LA but by the individual schools themselves
who are their own data controllers under Freedom of Information.  

Please note that the information provided is the property of North
Lincolnshire Council and permission is required from us should you wish
to make use of it for any reason other than your own personal knowledge.
You can find information about this on our website at the following
address, follow the link at the bottom of the web page entitled 'Re-use
of council information'.

Information request - Supply
Teacher Usage

     Dear Caroline Harris,
   
    Sorry this isn't quite what I was after. If you look under the
    Doncaster Council and North East Lincs Council they have this
    information in the format I am looking for.
   
    I am interested in the amounts paid by each school in North
    Lincolnshire 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.
   
    Yours sincerely,
   
    A Keating
