Application
Below is Autism NZ's original application to open its school. All sponsors must submit an application like this, and it helps the Charter School Authorisation Board (CSAB) decide whether to approve a school.
The application may not fully reflect how Encompass Education Hub eventually operates. This is because the school can change over time through further discussions with the CSAB, contract negotiations, the establishment process, and the staff and students involved.
