(Cllr. P.A.Rees declared an interest at this point and withdrew from the meeting.  Cllr.A.J.Taylor substituted for this item only.)

Decision:

That having given due regard to the impact assessments, in particular the equality, risk and Welsh Language assessments and in line with Section 48 of the School Standards and Organisation (Wales) Act 2013 approval be granted to publish the statutory proposal to establish specialist provision for primary age pupils with social emotional and behavioural difficulties at Coedffranc Primary School and at Crynallt Primary School, on the 10 November 2017, as contained within the circulated report.

Reason for Decision:

To enable the authority to comply with the formal publication requirements of the School Organisation Code and associated legislation.  Implementation of the proposal will enable the Council to promote high educational standards and the fulfilment of every child’s potential.  Also, to enable the authority to meet its duty to secure efficient education in its area.

Implementation of Decision:

That the decision is for immediate implementation.  The Chairperson of Scrutiny Committee had agreed to this course of action and therefore there would be no call-in of these decisions.
