Members felt that there was a need to identify staff who were due to retire well in advance to ensure that proper planning for succession could be made. The Committee was concerned that teaching and learning did not take place on the first day of the school year despite government's major focus on the protection of teaching and learning time. The Committee was further concerned over the lack of timeous CAPS training for teachers. The Committee urged the school to requisition its needs regularly and to maintain a good relationship with the circuit and district offices. The Committee noted with concern that the identification and redeployment of excess teachers was slow. It was important that there be expeditious engagement between the Department and the unions to resolve disagreement on the distribution of educators and the redeployment of those declared in excess. It was also crucial that the two parties improve their working relations. The Committee observed that ANA results at the school were not used as intended to improve teaching and learning. Neither were they released to parents.
