Decision details

The Cabinet Member considered the report of the Strategic Director - Children, Schools and Families seeking approval of expenditure relating to Specialist Schools Redesignation Capital Grant at Maghull High School.

RESOLVED:   That

(1)      the scheme at Maghull High School funded by Specialist Schools Redesignation Capital Grant be approved; and

(2)          Cabinet be recommended to include the proposed expenditure in the Children, Schools and Families Capital Programme 2010/11.
