A total of 5 education unions, representing significant numbers within the Isle of Wight education sector, recently sent a joint email letter to all 8 Isle of Wight Cabinet members.
In it, they express their deep concerns over school place planning and the forthcoming Cabinet vote. Valid concerns raised repeatedly by unions and islanders of all ages and groups.
These unions are anxiously fretting about ‘a potentially catastrophic and crucially irreversible decision, (affecting thousands of children’s lives; making hundreds of staff redundant; and damaging, perhaps irrevocably, 5 communities on the Island) on the basis of an erroneous process.’
We are acutely aware that Island education had tremendous upheaval during the 3-to-2 tier reorganisation. The promised improvement failed to match the then leader’s optimism.
Certain Cabinet members may recall that event and feel it did not do well. They might even suggest that Island education is still trying to recover.
In which case, when voting, they should ensure that lightning does not strike twice.
What don’t these Numpty’s understand!,
you don’t run a Ferry with 1 car on it.
Empty classrooms = schools to close.
It is not rocket science is it!
Savings must be made.
Erm ferries do run with one car on. Empty headed comments need to be closed too, like yours.
