Answer

I am advised that, on 11 June 2026, Ministry of Education School Property staff contacted schools in the Bay of Plenty, Waikato, Auckland and Te Tai Tokerau regions with Budget 2026-funded property projects. These schools have been in discussions with Ministry of Education officials for some time on their potential projects. I received the finalised list of funded schools on 3 June 2026.
