Details of the council's response to the objection to close Chapter School

The council received an objection from the Governors of Chapter School regarding its closure notice (note: this is the revised notice, not the one our highly paid professionals failed to issue correctly in the 1st place.)

They propose to "debate" this at the upcoming Cabinet meeting on the 15th July.

It does not take much guessing as to the outcome of the debate - but the papers have been published as part of public record and can be read from the link at the bottom of the council's cabinet meeting agenda item - linked here I suggest you read the councils responses to the objections and make your own mind up on the real rea$oning behind the academy.

Assuming the highly paid professionals can turn up at the right place at the right time (I know it sounds as simple as put the notice on the gates and make sure you have filled in the proposal BUT!) then the next step in the process happens on the 15th of July.

A SUMMER UPDATE

Hello everyone, it's been a couple of months since we posted. Why? - well we have been patiently waiting for the next steps in the process.

And - we have them - the council formally began the process of closing Chapter school. A few simple steps, issue a notice (content automatically prepared via a government website), get it posted at the library, the school(s) and in the local paper.

The notice says something like "Full details of the proposal can be obtained from the council" - you just ask for them.

Guess what - no go on guess - ok then, the council had to re-issue the notice because 1) the only put it in the paper and 2) they didn't have a complete proposal to give (I know - I asked for it).

Inspires confidence that the council really have a handle on what is happening, makes us feel that we can relax and let common sense and decent management take it's course. - NOT!

Everyone needs to remember how this has happened, these are well paid professionals who are doing this - and they are simply not able - half cocked doesn't really begin to describe it.

There have been a few other developments - which we will in due course send out updates for to all those who have registered their email addresses with us - if you haven't done so please visit http://www.sockcampaign.com and follow the links there.

By the way - here is a press release from UCA following our meeting back in April.
