AGENDA ITEM 12

Schools Governance Review Outcome

There is circulated Report No. HC/19/17 by the Director of Care and Learning.

Members are asked to:

recommit to working collaboratively with Headteachers to provide them with better opportunities to drive school improvement and reduce unnecessary bureaucracy;
agree that the proposals set out by the Scottish Government do nothing to declutter the current arrangements but could introduce new layers of scrutiny and management and confuse responsibility and accountability for the management of schools; and
agree to seek to work with Government, including through CoSLA, the Northern Alliance and other forums, to endeavour to influence these proposals in a more positive and constructive direction.

Yours faithfully

Michelle Morris
Depute Chief Executive/Director of Corporate Development
