Schools policy
Open...

Open...
Driven by money and the desperation of the Government/Executive to have a PFI scheme to flaunt as a success, will the Government now do as it pledged and demand that some of the schools are kept open, even though that scuppers their own demands to centralise education?
I suspect financial pragmatism will outweigh parental choice - and political promises will not be kept.
Does anyone, really, really understand what they are doing here - and I mean from Government down to schools and every layer in between? Despite having been involved in the early part of the process - and seeing it to be a disaster waiting to happen - I was none the wiser about the real impact, and the consultants kept the full financial details secret, meaning that proper scrutiny was not possible (as fully approved by the Executive/Government).
Of course, full Council may overturn this decision (again) which will surely again place some Councillors in an almost impossible position of being both for and against the policy.

The fact that the consultant hired to prepare the report for the education dept was already employed in a consultancy role with the Western Isles Schools Project stinks.
I see the comments re 'The Team'
