I thank the honourable member for
some notice of this question.
(1) The new
learning academy has the following staffing profile: school administrator,
level 4, one full‑time equivalent; teachers, 2.4 FTE; school
psychologist, one FTE; education assistant, 0.85 FTE; and school officer, one
FTE.
(2) As at 23
March 2016, six students are enrolled in the learning academy. Given the
complexity of these cases, a gradual intake model has been adopted to allow
students to transition back to learning in a highly supported, calm and orderly
environment. The program has shown very promising early signs with an
attendance rate of well over 90 per cent being achieved by the currently
enrolled students.
(3)–(4) I have not been
advised of any concerns.
