Hi Jennifer

Not really up to me to chase this up.

The Agenda is incomplete and as such is not really of any use.

I do not know any of your colleagues in Education Department.

Would appreciate if you would get the information and update/complete the Agenda to give the necessary information in time for the meeting.

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks

Dear Chair Education Committee Andrew Anderson

There is still no information on Council Education Committee webpage regarding this Agenda item

www.eastrenfrewshire.gov.uk/education-committee-091123

Item 4 - 4. Performance 2022-23 - Presentation

This is very shoddy and does not uphold your and Council's commitment of openness & transparency.

As said, to Jennifer Graham

Performance of who/what?

Who will give the Presentation?

Where are the slides/papers/reports etc as background to this presentation?

Your help giving the requested information will be appreciated.

Thanks

Sorry if this response seems unhelpful – it is not my intention.

Alas, I am not yet privy to the content of the presentation however, given the item is to be heard in public, I am happy to forward you a copy or direct you to it on the website after the meeting.

Best
Colin

Dear Chair Education Committee Andrew Anderson and Colin Sweeny

I agree. It is unhelpful and a bit of a nonsense.

How can something be included in an agenda and nobody has a clue what it is about?

Is it a surprise presentation to someone at the meeting?

Again,

Performance of who/what?

Who will give the Presentation?

Where are the slides/papers/reports etc as background to this presentation?

Thanks
