The Cabinet considered a report which outlined the challenges the Council faces in relation to the placement of pupils with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities (SEND), presented a series of options and concluded with a business case for the preferred option which is to expand, rebuild and relocate Lisburne School, and undertake the necessary public consultations.
The Cabinet agreed to:-
(1) approve the development of the proposal for an expanded and re-built Lisburne School on an alternative site subject to consultation in line with School Organisation Regulations; and
(2) approve the funding model for the proposal in line with the financial evaluation provided in Section 5 of the report.
