Responded By: Hon John-Paul Langbroek MP on 17/12/2013
TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland

Queensland Residents draws to the attention of the House the decision by the Minister for Education, Training and Employment to close six State Schools in Queensland, namely Charlton SS, Fortitude Valley SS, Nyanda SHS, Old Yarranlea SS, Stuart SS and Toowoomba South SS and the process on which the Minister’s decision was based.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to stay the closure of the six State Schools named above for at least 12 months, to allow the school communities to offer cash inflow opportunities to ameliorate the State’s Budget, i.e.: establish Public Day Care Facilities on school grounds and to work through genuine concerns regarding the viability of each school, to ensure natural justice is served.
