I asked the question regarding parents who choose to not vote (for what ever reason) will these be counted as a YES or NO vote The district director said it will be a NO vote however Nina said only votes received would be counted, as they (parents) have the opportunity to vote if they desire. My argument or concern is that if a majority of a very very small minority can vote YES and the YES vote gets up only based on well meaning parents when really they are not actually the (i) a majority of the parents of the students attending the school; or They are only a minority and that will not truly reflect parents view 106A—Materials and services charges for curricular activities

(15) A school council must not make an application to the Director-General for approval of an amount greater than the standard sum unless all persons who, in the opinion of the council would be liable for the greater amount if approved, have been given an opportunity to participate in a poll on the matter and the application is supported by a majority of the persons who responded to the poll.

What constitutes a majority an entire school population or majority as in like responded to 106A—Materials and services charges?

This project is too big to be half baked; the Education Act 1974 106A —Materials and services charges, can stop or reversed at anytime it’s not permanent as a super school.

The poll it still needs to be a majority of the school parent’s population not the major of these who respond like 106A Materials and services.

I am sure that if DECS really do want to build a super schools and get a small response of no than the will want to suggest I’m right if it suits them who makes the rules.

This method of closure or amalgamation- Part 2A—Closure or amalgamation of Government schools 14A—Application of Part (1) A Government school cannot be closed or amalgamated with another Government school except in accordance with this Part. (2) However, this Part does not apply— (a) to the temporary closure of a Government school in an emergency or for the purposes of carrying out building work; or (b) to the closure of a Government school if— (i) a majority of the parents of the students attending the school; or (ii) where the school is wholly or principally for adult students—a majority of the students attending the school, indicate that they are not opposed to the closure.

Is very much slanted towards closure and or amalgamation because as it reads to myself, if any one of our state schools applies for closure / amalgamation, then technically every school commences this procedure can be closed should not one single vote be received back, is that a dangerous situation or not?

Especially as the government is the true driver behind this half baked plan called Education Works
