Overview

The Department of Services for People (Education) are consulting on the school session dates for 2014/15.  There are 2 options to be considered for East Lothian schools:

Option 1  -  Proposed East Lothian draft dates for 2014/15 (in line with Midlothian Council dates)

Option 2  -  Approved City of Edinburgh Council dates for 2014/15

If you would like to indicate your preferred option i.e. should East Lothian Council go with the draft proposed dates in Option 1 which align with Midlothian Council school session dates or should we mirror the City of Edinburgh Council dates (Option 2) please complete the online survey.

Why your views matter
