Private secondary schools; application for an operating grant.
School authorities of private secondary schools, grammar schools, independent Waldorf schools (from grade 5) and schools of the second educational path receive an operating subsidy for personnel expenses and school expenses in accordance with Art. 38 and Art. 45 Para. 1 of the Bavarian School Financing Act.
Description
Object and beneficiaries
School operators of private state-recognized and state-approved secondary schools, grammar schools, independent Waldorf schools (from grade 5 onwards), as well as second-chance schools receive a grant (operating grant) to cover the necessary personnel and school expenses.
Type and amount
Operating subsidies are granted in relation to the calendar year. The official pupil numbers as of October 1 of the previous year form the basis. Using the pupil numbers, the eligible teaching staff hours can be calculated in application of the tables in Art. 17 of the Bavarian School Financing Act (BaySchFG). These are multiplied by the flat-rate costs of one teaching staff hour. The teaching staff costs calculated in this way are multiplied by a subsidy rate of 112%.
The actual personnel expenses of the school operator are irrelevant for the calculation.
Prerequisites
Among other things:
- Only schools operated by legal entities under public or private law and operating on a non-profit basis receive state funding (proof must be provided in the form of a certificate from the tax office). This includes ecclesiastical legal entities, including those under Article 9 of the Bavarian Concordat with the Holy See of March 29, 1924, and Article 13 of the Treaty between the Bavarian State and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria on the Right Bank of the Rhine of November 15, 1924.
- State recognition of the school; in the case of state approval, the requirements of Art. 45, Para. 1 BaySchFG must be met.
These include that- the school is fully developed
- the school offers the guarantee that it permanently fulfills the educational goals of the corresponding public schools in a way that makes it appear equivalent to public schools,
- there are no major objections from the school supervisory authorities,
- the school has been in operation for at least 4 school years as of 01.08. of a year (start of subsidy), and
- the school is intended to operate on a permanent basis.
