Background facts (4) • Request from the Secretary General to be very attentive to compliance with rules laid down by BoG for the creation of classes and groups, whether for compulsory courses or options at the beginning of 2010-11 school year, in order to cut expenditure in the current difficult economic and budgetary context (May 10th)

  6. Background facts (5) • To show rigour in the organisation of the coming school year and to avoid, as far as reasonably possible, creating courses for a number of pupils smaller than the one set by the BoG • For pedagogical continuity reasons, it is likely that some courses cannot possibly be discontinued as early as September 2010 • List the classes, groups and courses which constitute a derogation, explaining reasons for their creation or continuing existence, at the next meeting of school’s Administrative Board
