Two and a half years have passed since the Council of his rehabilitation program Lü16 presented. It would have to improve the cantonal budget to 2019, to about 1.5 billion Swiss francs. Meanwhile, the performance review (Lü16) month-to-month, fell a bit more. In the spring, the government abolished the hated ship five Liber. In the fall, it refused the people, to reduce the promotion of public transport, and early this week, the Parliament of the Canton of 500’000 Swiss francs, is granted, in addition, for the Opera house, although the state has a capped contribution with Lü16.

money

budgeted Yesterday, education Director Silvia Steiner (CVP) pulled back by far the most important savings measure in the field of education: the Municipalisation of the school principal. With her, the Canton would have been able to save annually a total of 14.8 million Swiss francs. Currently, school leaders from the Canton are employed, and this paid 20 percent of their wages. It’s the same cost is a key that exists between the Canton and the municipalities also in the case of the primary school teachers. The reason for the withdrawal of the austerity measure, the big resistance to it.

maintain, Especially the School, the teachers and the school leaders themselves to defend themselves in the consultation process for the amendment of the law against the Municipalisation of the school principal. Sarah Knüsel, President of the Zurich Association of Headmasters and headmistresses, was revealed yesterday on the demolition of the project will facilitate: “to Me, no company is known, the outsourcing of its management positions.” With the Municipalisation would be threatened, according to Knüsel, the unequal treatment of schools. This was the main reason for the rejection. In contrast, the majority of consultation participants, but also because this is the only expenditure of the Canton would have been shifted to the municipalities.

The parties rejected the cost shift, also by a majority, with the exception of the FDP. Open is, as the SVP is, because you didn’t make your opinion “for resource reasons”.

wages have to be paid for without Budget

in the Meantime, also, the extent of the saving potential is controversial. As a Municipalisation of the school leaders would have a mass notice to all school principals. To do this, the Canton would have to create a social plan and severance pay. That is why the government has been thinking in the meantime about changing the cost of the key and to pay in the future, only 10 percent of the school principal salaries. From this idea, he is lost in the meantime.

is Open, what happens with the 14.8 million Swiss francs, which are not included in the draft budget for 2019. At the beginning of next week will fall in the cantonal Parliament of the decision, but the majority of the Council does not seem willing the amount back into the Budget. In this case, the government would have to apply for next year, a supplementary credit in the same amount as principal of the school have indoor and principals will also be entitled to their pay, if the money is not budgeted.

Super-headmaster allowed

education Director Steiner announced yesterday a further change in the law, which provide for a new division of tasks in primary schools. So school maintain focus even more on the strategic tasks and the school management on the operational management of the schools. Therefore, the school should be able to delegate to maintain the employment of teachers, the allocation of the student or the supervision of employees new to your school principal. To maintain the compulsory tasks of the School include: the allocation of money to the schools, the hiring, evaluation and dismissal of school Principals and the approval of the school program.

New municipalities are allowed to set their own cost a total principal or “head of education”. Such Super-principals, which are hierarchically above the normal school heads, there are in some of the larger municipalities (e.g., Bülach). You are working in a grey area, since they are not provided for in the law. The want to change Steiner. Often principals are the total interior or the total principal of the Secretariats and for coordination among the schools. Education Director Steiner stated that such changes would be legally possible only, and not enforced: “anyone Who wants to continue as in the past, it is allowed to do that.”

criticism from the teachers ‘Association

The Zurich teachers’ Association (ZLV) does not agree that the school boards are municipal employees. However, a new level of the hierarchy in the school, he rejects: “The generated additional tasks and costs.” He critically evaluated the withdrawal of the school to maintain the school. The experience of a school visit will help in making strategic Decisions to align to reality. The changes to the law in 2019 will be decided in the cantonal Parliament.
