Queensland's independent public schools will need to explain how they've spent taxpayers' dollars, with their answers to potentially shape any future changes to the controversial program. The Education Department will this month ask the 250 schools how they've spent the annual $50,000 in funding as a result of an investigation into one of the schools. Education Minister Grace Grace said she expected full transparency. "As a result of a recent public investigation involving an IPS school, all schools are being asked by the Director-General this month to outline how they intend to spend this funding in 2021 and how they have spent this funding in past years," she said.
