The Government has categorically ruled out forcibly closing any of the schools Mr Blake mentioned in his report, or any other school in Tasmania for that matter.
Mr Blake's report does not, in any way, represent or accord with the views or policies of the Government.
The Government will be writing today to all of the schools named by Mr Blake to make the Government’s view clear to the principals, staff, students and communities involved.
