Delivery And Performance Agreement
All independent public schools must negotiate a supply and performance agreement (DPA) signed by the rector, the school board president and the director general. This agreement mentions the resources the school will receive; The assistance provided, the programs they are responsible for providing; Students` results and how they are controlled and the performance and responsibility of the school for the duration of the agreement. The Independent Public Schools initiative pays tribute to the government`s commitment before the elections to strengthen control of schools. In collaboration with their school community, independent public schools set their own strategic directions, have the authority for day-to-day decision-making, and are ideal for making decisions that match their students. Parents and community members play an important and expanded role in this initiative. In order to be able to work more independently, independent public schools have a number of flexibilities. This means they can choose employees, manage their financial affairs through a single budget, choose school development dates, approve leave requests, define the program that best supports student needs, manage schools (electricity, water, gas and waste management) and errors (failures and repairs). The data protection authority sets out the preconditions for developing an effective business plan. This three-year strategic plan corresponds and has the same amount of time as the supply and delivery agreement. The DPA and business plan also form the basis of the professional examination of the client. Although they are called independent public schools, these schools are part of the public school system.
