Email from David Leng re: Estates


The following email was sent to the school yesterday(28th May 2008)

FOR THE URGENT ATTENTION OF HEAD TEACHER
Dear Head Teacher, Councillors have decided that the school estate
strategy paper for 10th June should only be a progress report on the
consultation process and they will defer any decisions for the next
steps until 2nd September 2008. This is to allow officers and
councillors more time to consider the feedback that has been received
during the consultation process. In effect, this means that there will
be no decision on whether schools are going forward for formal
consultation or not until after the summer.

Can you please advise your staff of this situation and also your
Parent Councils. A press release is being made today and therefore it
is likely to be in the public domain by this evening.

If you require any further information, please contact me.

Regards
David

I suppose it’s a good thing that they are not rushing things. I hope they take the views raised at the meeting on board. What’s your view?

School Estates Plans


We’d like to invite your opinions on the City Council’s Estates Strategy. As you’ve no doubt heard by now they are talking about closing Bucksburn, Stoneywood and Newhills, integrating Bucksburn and Newhills schools into a new building.

We don’t know where this will be yet.

So what are your opinions on this? Post a comment…

Did you know?


When you first post a comment it goes to be verified, so we know you are a genuine person and not just a spam robot, after that it goes straight on the page!

Minutes Available


I’ve copied the minutes so far onto the site. I’ll get some contact details for the PC members soon and might even throw on an email form so they can be contacted directly without giving out their email addies if they don’t want them out there.

Welcome


Well we’ve finally gotten round to getting a web presence. This site will feature agenda items, minuted meetings, news and a place for parent’s who might not be able to come to the meetings to make comments and requests about/from the parent council.

I hope this will go some way towards helping Bucksburn parents become more involved with the school and hopefully give them more of a say in what’s going on.

Feel free to comment on any pages on the site.

Thanks for visiting.

Site Created


New parent council site created, will soon upload minutes from past meetings and agendas!
