Local Schools should be for local children. We want to end the practice of parents falsifying details in order to obtain a place at their chosen school. I want more Stringent Policies put in place by the Local Education Authority to insure school places are offered to children within the catchment area. By signing you will be supporting our proposal to end the practice of some parents falsifying an address in order to get their child into their chosen school, which intern denies a place being given to a child living in the catchment area.

The Local Education Authority is finally starting to feel the heat because of this massive swell of support. These bureaucrats can no longer ignore the families who are being cheated out of school spots by people lying about their addresses.

Lying on an application is fraud plain and simple. Needs to stop now.

Finally! Its so unfair when kids who live right down the street cant get in because someone from three towns over lied about where they live.

CHECK THE ADDRESSES! Too many people cheat the system and the local families suffer. Ridiculous.

Its really not fair on the younger siblings either. The council needs to be way stricter with proof of residence.

My son missed out last year while people who moved away still got spots. Total joke.
