Reasons for the decision:

*PLEASE NOTE This decision was originally published on or near the date of the decision and so call in no longer applies. It has been re-published as part of the change in committee management system that we use.*

On 9 June 2020 the Executive approved the publication of statutory proposals to:

(i) add provision for Special Educational Needs by providing Special Resourced provision in the form of Targeted Provisions at Mainstream Schools
(ii) remove provision for Special Educational Needs at former Enhanced Mainstream Schools.

This followed careful consideration of the responses to public consultation carried out by the Children and Young People’s Service.

The statutory proposals were published on 19 June, giving 4 weeks until 17 July for representations to be made. The statutory proposals and public notices were published on 19 June 2020. The public notices, placed on the school gates and in the Yorkshire Post newspaper, invited written objections or comments to be submitted by 17 July 2020. At the time of the publication of the notice, a copy of the complete proposal, including all the information required in the school organisation regulations and guidance, was published on the County Council’s website. No responses were received by the end of the notice period.

In considering proposals, the Executive (or the Executive Member for Schools, if there are no objections received during the representation period), as Decision Makers can decide to:

• reject the proposals;
• approve the proposals;
• approve the proposals with a modification;
• approve the proposals subject to them meeting a specific condition.

Alternative options considered:

• reject the proposals;
• approve the proposals with a modification;
• approve the proposals subject to them meeting a specific condition.
