The Chief Executive and Director of Lifelong Learning provided a verbal update on the School Modernisation Area Reviews, detailing the proposed timetable for the forthcoming consultation events.

            Following approval of the preferred options for further consultation on 17 July, 2012 work had commenced in order to progress the consultation process with schools during the autumn term.  Work was also progressing on the creation of a corporate business case for future investment for schools together with the continued amalgamation of a number of primary schools across the County.  It was anticipated that a decision could be made by the summer of 2013 with the proposals being fully implemented by September 2015 at the earliest.    

            The Director of Lifelong Learning asked Members to contact him following the meeting with any suggestions on the arrangements for the forthcoming consultation events.         

RESOLVED:
