[eal-bilingual] Delegation to schools

Dear colleagues in England,

Please could as many of you as possible respond to this very quick request with a simple YES or NO direct to my email address real.public at btinternet.com NOT to the forum?

Aside from individual schools where good working relationships have yielded positive results, as a whole would you say that delegation of EMAG funding to schools, rather than funding being retained by central LEA services, is beneficial for the pupils and for our profession?  On balance, a simple YES or NO is all I need to get a general picture.

Many thanks
Jonathan Brentnall
