The ALA-ELP Association, an association run under the French 1901 law, is the body that governs the English National Programme at both primary and secondary levels in the Lycée International de Ferney-Voltaire. The Association is the employer of the English National Programme staff and is responsible for the financial management of the Programme.
The Association is registered under the name
Association de Langue Anglaise – English Language Programme (ALA-ELP)
No. SIREN 393 377 288
No. SIRET 393 377 288 00013
Registration details can be found in 'Les Journaux Officiels'.
Parents of children admitted to the Programme are members of this Association and elect a committee of 9 members to run it. In addition, the Head of Programme is an ex-officio member. Committee members are elected at the Annual General Assembly (AGA), which normally takes place in May. The mandates of the Committee members are for a period of 3 years and can be extended by re-election at the AGA.
A mandate automatically ceases when a Committee member no longer has a child in the Programme. In the event of a Committee member leaving before the end of their mandate, the Committee can co-opt a replacement, to be proposed for election at the following AGA.
Committee meetings are normally held at CERN, approximately 8 times per year. In addition to the Head of Programme, one teacher also attends each meeting, the teachers taking it in turns to attend.
The following sub-committees have been formed
· Programme Planning (PPSC)
C. Scott (Chair), M Cattaneo, A. Ackroyd, P. Woodburn
· Informatics (ITSC)
G. Jones (Chair), P. Woodburn, A Knowles.
