Detailed information about educational projects is held locally. Partnerships for Schools holds information about Building Schools for the Future (BSF) projects. Solihull and Wolverhampton's BSF projects were not affected by the Secretary of State's decision to halt the programme. Dudley had not yet entered the programme. Information on the number of BSF projects stopped, as well as the value of each local authority's total scheme is listed below:

Birmingham	Thirteen school projects were stopped. The indicative funding envelope was circa £150 million.
Coventry	Twenty one school projects were stopped. The indicative funding envelope was circa £430 million.
Walsall	Six school projects were stopped. The indicative funding envelope was circa £100 million.
Sandwell	Nine school projects were stopped. The indicative funding envelope was circa £160 million

Birmingham, Walsall and Sandwell were in the early stages of the BSF programme and the value of each school project had not been determined. Just three of the Coventry school projects had been given firm funding allocations. These were, Broad Spectrum (PK) and President Kennedy which were co-located and had combined total funding of £53 million and Westwood which had been allocated £12 million. Partnerships for Schools also holds information on those projects which were due to receive funding from the co-location fund. The funding for Birmingham's co-location project, Stockland Green Young People's Centre, was withdrawn due to the lack of progress and the risk of the project not being completed by the deadline to which the city council had committed itself. Coventry and Wolverhampton's co-location projects were unaffected and Walsall, Sandwell, Dudley and Solihull did not have co-location projects. All further education colleges, including those now designated sixth-form colleges, that had capital projects under way and approved at the time of the formation of the coalition Government continue to be fully supported as previously agreed. This means that no further education college capital projects have been stopped as a result of a reduction in government funding.
