Final advice on this Council’s proposed withdrawal from the Regional
School Improvement Consortium (ERW) and possible options on future
collaboration models.
1.
That the withdrawal
notice of Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council remain as served on the
basis that little or nothing material has changed in the last year to justify
the Council rescinding this.
2.
That the Council
enter into one of three options for a new footprint should the other local
authorities agree to do so and any legal constraints be removed by mutual
agreement.
3.
That delegated
authority be granted to the Chief Executive and the Director of Education,
Leisure and Lifelong Learning, in consultation with the Leader of Council and
the Cabinet Member, to take all necessary actions and, enter into all
necessary agreements, to complete the withdrawal process and establish
successor arrangements either on the basis of one of the options in 2 above
or the Council standing alone outside the current consortium, at least in the
short term.
