Reasons for Decisions:

In order to comply with the formal publication requirements imposed on the Council by the School Organisation Code and associated legislation.  A draft statutory notice was attached as Appendix D. Implementation of the proposal will enable the Council to promote high educational standards and the fulfilment of every child’s potential. It will also enable the Council to meet its duty to secure efficient education in its area.

Implementation of the Decisions:

The decisions are for immediate implementation, the Chairperson of the scrutiny Committee had agreed to this course of action and there would therefore be no call in of these decisions.
