Good News At Last

[maggiebee]

Schools in Dundee will reopen to pupils with a ‘phased return’ on a Wednesday next month, the city council has announced.

Some pupils will return to the classroom on Wednesday August 12, with full-time lessons planned to resume from the following Monday, August 17, if safe to do so.

The arrangements have been agreed by political leaders as well as trade unions although may be subject to change depending on scientific advice.

Deputy First Minister John Swinney is due to make an announcement on the reopening of schools around the end of the month.

So glad to see some normality returning albeit slowly.

just Dundee? do other Scottish cities have different arrangements?

[maggiebee]

Not sure mushroom. Not all cities in Scotland have the same school holidays, there's usually a week difference between Dundee and Aberdeen for example. This notice is from Dundee City Council. May become clearer at the end of the month.

mmmm. if opening day is the 17th August, waiting to deliver the statement until the end of the month is leaving it a bit late for parents to plan, etc.

sounds like your government is just as inept as ours.
