“That this Area Committee write to the Department of Education seeking immediate action to redress the shortfall of additional needs support in schools in this LEA.

We call on the Department to engage in a fulsome discussion with schools regarding the shortfall in services, how that gap is to be closed and how we best develop inclusiveness and opportunity within education.”
