Issue - meetings

The transparency statements made will be recorded in full in the minute.

In relation to item 10.2 (School Estate Plan – Implementation Plan), the following statements of transparency were noted, with all Members considering that these did not amount to interests which needed to be declared, nor which would prevent them from participating in that item of business:-

·       Mrs Frances Cardno advised that she had children who attended Forehill School and Oldmachar Academy which were referred to within the report.

·       Mr Michael Crawford advised that he had children at Airyhall School and Cults Academy, and his wife was an Active Schools Assistant supporting Cults and Lochside ASG schools.

·       Councillor Blake advised that she had children who attended Cults School and Cults Academy.

·       Councillor Brooks advised that he had a child who attended Cults Academy.

·       Councillor Grant advised that he had children at Riverbank School.

·       The Vice Convener advised that she had a child who attended the Early Learning and Childcare provision at Gilcomstoun School.

In relation to item 10.3 (Update of Gaelic Medium Education), the Vice Convener advised that although her child attended the Early Learning and Childcare Provision at Gilcomstoun School, she did not attend the GME provision and so the Vice Convener did not consider that this amounted to an interest which required to be declared and which would prevent her from participating in that item of business.
