First education cuts come to light

The Lib Dem - SNP Council has made the following cuts on 21 February:

• every Primary and Secondary school in Edinburgh is being forced to take a 1.5%-2.0% budget cut
• this basically amounts to at least a £10,000 reduction per average Primary School
• at least a £10,000 reduction per average Special School
• and at least a £50,000 reduction per average Secondary School
• and to make things worse all school meals are being increased by 10p from August
• in addition, the Council's 'Youth Services' are being slashed by £357,000
• and 'Community Learning and Development' is being cut by by the full-year equivalent of £850,000 - see www.communitycentres.wordpress.com
