Consultations: It was agreed that members needed to get input from their Sectors on consultations, so discussion will take place beginning next month on the following: Enrolment Criteria, School Fees Policy, and Video Surveillance Policy.

Regarding the current consultation on the Deeds of Establishment, it was decided that given the October 20 deadline, it’s not manageable to review the deeds of all schools and centres. It was felt that Sectors are in the best position to respond to the consultation.
