Dumfries & Galloway Parent Council Forum<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There is a meeting on Thursday\u00a0 (21st November) at 7pm at Castle Douglas High School open to parents.\u00a0 The main focus will be on sharing and discussing next steps for Education Services within the Council as we face budget savings.\u00a0 We cannot continue to spend money in the same way so we need to ‘transform’ our approach.\u00a0 Several meetings were held across the region to discuss ideas and this meeting is a chance for you to find out more about what this will mean for our school and our children.\u00a0 It would be extremely helpful if some parents could attend and feed back to the Parent Council.<\/p>\n
