People’s views are being sought on East Lothian Council term dates and holidays for the academic year 2013/14

A consultation is underway into two alternative options because the ability of all Lothian councils to set the same holidays will not be possible.

The Department of Services for People each year carry out a consultation on the draft school session dates.  Following the consultation exercise the views submitted are taken into account and a report based on the consultation exercise is submitted to Council Committee for Education for approval.

If you would like to comment and indicate your preferred option i.e. should East Lothian Council go with the draft proposed dates which align with Midlothian Council school session dates or mirror the City of Edinburgh Council? 

Access to Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 containing the revelant proposed dates can be viewed here.

Please send your comments stating which of the proposals you prefer to Susan McNaught, Admin Officer, Business Unit (e-mail smcnaught@eastlothian.gov.uk) by Friday 21 September 2012 at 12 noon.
