Minutes:
This petition was considered alongside petition P-05-1015 Categorise schools as critical infrastructure.
The Committee considered an update on the petition and
agreed in light of the ongoing scrutiny being applied to this subject by the
CYPE Committee, the commitment by the Welsh Government to prioritise keeping
schools open, and the expectations and guidance produced about provision of
online learning, that there was no further action it could take at this time.
It agreed to close the petitions and thank the petitioners.
