How to Save your School From Closure (Glasgow)
CEC
Hi, finally the scottish parliament has put the e-petition online. The wording is as follows;
Petition by Scott Reed calling on the Scottish Parliament, in light of the proposal to close Drummond Community High School in Edinburgh, to urge Scottish Ministers not to grant consent to school closure proposals where the school role exceeds 80% of the school’s capacity.

I’d like to have included all schools but unfortunately the petitions clerk said it had to be an issue over which the parliament has some power. The parliament has the final say on schools with an occupancy above 80%, therefore this is the line which was taken.
