Under the arrangements agreed by Executive on 25 September 2007,
school organisation decisions, for which the decision maker is the
Local Authority, will normally be taken by the County
Council’s Executive or, if there are no objections to the
Statutory Notice, the decision is delegated to the Executive
Members for Schools.
The Governing Body of Drax Community Primary School agreed on 14
September 2016 to request a consultation on a proposal to close the
school. The consultation period ran from 31 October to 12 December
2016. The Executive met on 31 January 2017, considered the
consultation responses, and resolved to proceed with publication of
the statutory proposals. The public notice invited written
objections or comments to be submitted by 16 March 2017.
No responses were received following the publication of the
Statutory Notices.
