| 3 | Motion A special meeting of Council is requisitioned to consider the following motion. In the event that the motion engages standing order 35 (the six month rule), the agreement of two thirds of members is sought to allow the motion to be considered. |
| (a) | Motion: Council agrees that the proposals relating to changes to the school week, summarised in appendix 8 of the revenue budget papers 28.02.24, should be outlined in full in a paper to be brought to the next meeting of ECYP Executive, and that no public consultation should proceed until the outcome of that meeting is known. Council recognises the significance of this proposal to families across Falkirk and acknowledges the concerns related by many parent councils in their communication with councillors. Council therefore commits to a full and transparent development of this proposal in bringing this matter before councillors for discussion prior to a full and thorough public consultation. Council confirms that no decisions will be made on any proposal to change the composition of the school week until the results of the consultation have been fully analysed and reported back to councillors for further discussion. |
