Opinia na temat finansowania kosztów dowozu dzieci do niepublicznej szkoły ze środków przekazywanych przez gminę organizacji pozarządowej prowadzącej placówkę oświatową

The answer to the following question: ‘Is it possible, pursuant to the applicable laws, to finance the costs related to the transport of children to an independent primary school (petrol, driver’s remuneration, the purchase and maintenance of the school bus) from the educational subsidy granted by the commune to a non-governmental organisation running such a school’? In the first part of her statement the author indicates the differences between the educational part of the general subsidy obtained by communes from the state budget and the grants given to schools run by non-governmental organisations from the budgets of the communes. Mistaking these two transfers is one of the reasons for misunderstandings with regard to the manner the grants given to schools are used. In the second part the author, on the basis of the interpretation of the legal provisions in force, expresses the opinion that a school run by a non-governmental organisation may not allocate the grant obtained from the budget of the commune to cover the costs of transporting children to such a school.
