The Scottish Government is currently consulting on proposals for improving the way in which school closure proposals might be handled in the future. Given the role of schools in their communities, the consultation will be of potential interest to Community Councils (and the paper was sent to the Association of Scottish Community Councils when the consultation began).
You can access our consultation paper, “Safeguarding our Rural Schools and Improving School Consultation Procedures: Proposals for Changes to Legislation” on the Scottish Government website at: www.scotland.gov.uk/221297, and a summary version is available at: www.scotland.gov.uk/221476. If you would like hard copies of the full consultation paper, or the summary, please telephone on 0131 244 0166 to request hard copies, or e-mail your request to schoolclosure.consultation@scotland.gsi.gov.uk. Further information about the consultation, including details of public meetings, are available on the Parentzone website
