MoE Scoping Survey: Support Groups and Deadline

 

Craig with children and timeline

MoE Problem Scoping Survey: please make it known and fill it out

Support Groups:

I know this is a bit late, but I have had a lot on my mind recently. Not all Support Groups met with the Red Tape Cluster Buster team. So this is your opportunity to put in a word as well via the Problem Scoping Survey. I am sorry it has taken me so long to come up with this idea. And I know it takes longer for a Support Group to put together something like this as you have to consult with your members. But I would like to encourage all Support Groups to put in a Problem Scoping Survey or email (whether you had a Red Tape Cluster Buster meeting or not).

I just started doing my one for the Home Education Foundation last night and that gave me the idea to encourage Support Groups to put in a Problem Scoping Survey as well. I am thankful that the deadline is on a Friday – more below.

Deadline:

The deadline is today. We have until midnight to get the Scoping surveys  in, so early Monday morning will get the Surveys to the MoE before they start processing them. I am thankful for this as I have not started working on mine yet. I will need Saturday to work on it.
