My question is to the Minister for Education, Science and Training. Given that the original guidelines to the Investing in Our Schools Program stated:

A school community may be funded up to a maximum of $150,000 over the 2005-08 quadrennium ...

and given that schools, particularly small schools in my electorate, have allocated considerable time and resources over three years to prioritise and plan linked projects based on the $150,000 funding cap, what will the minister do to ensure such projects, some with discrete components already completed, are not wasted and that the reasonable funding expectations of such schools are met, given the reduction to $100,000 in the amounts schools can now seek?
