21. Questions

22. Questions • Can the board confirm, unequivocally, that St Michael’s will be re-opened after the repair work is complete? What are the drivers for keeping the school open? • What guarantees can the board provide in terms of the school repair timelines? Can we get some assurance that no more than one school year will be lost? What is the process for scoping/tendering and scheduling the work? How long will this process take? When is the work expected to start/finish? (losing more than 1 school year is a huge concern)

23. Questions • In terms of selecting the replacement school, how will this decision be made? Will there be any input from parents? When is the decision expected to be made? • What repairs are needed, and what repairs will be done, for the replacement school? • Have any important issues been identified with the replacement school (in terms of repairs, layout, anything which will impact the safety and education of the kids)?

24. Questions • If parents withdraw their children from the school will there be changes to our staffing. • How will we be informed of the decisions if they are not made today? How will we find out about bussing?
