Deputy David de Lisle quits Education, Sport and Culture

This follows the resignation of vice president Carl Meerveld over the controversial funding and running of a Facebook campaign.

Deputy Meerveld's place on the committee was this week taken by Deputy John Gollop.

Deputy de Lisle's departure comes at a time when ESC has faced having to hold back on presenting its plans for a three-school model for secondary education in the island, as rival proposals favouring a two-school model are drawn up. They are due for debate next month.
