ABSTRACT
The Student Resource Package (SRP) is the sum of money allocated to government (state) schools in Victoria in a system of self-managing schools, in which approximately 94 per cent of the state’s education budget is decentralised to schools for local decision-making. The following is a summary of objectives, features and major elements in the package. The approach is based on the findings of a research project announced in the Blueprint for Government Schools (DET, 2003). Details of the SRP can be found at www. sofweb.vic.edu.au/SRP.
