Boards are responsible for financial governance, including ensuring the correct operational funding is being allocated to their school or kura.
Pourato provides access to the latest resourcing information for boards to view for audit purposes.
Overview
Each year in September, Pourato will publish the provisional operational funding entitlement for your school or kura.

'Provisional' means that the funding may be adjusted later. The Ministry recalculates your funding during the year to get your final amount. If any of your operational funding components change, it will be updated in Pourato each quarter and your school or kura will receive an email notification.
Operational funding components
During the school year, we pay operational funding in quarterly instalments.
