Show Notes
Edinburghs schoolchildren may get June fifteenth off for the World Cup bank holiday, but the decision isnt final yet. City councillors will decide on Thursday if its a public holiday, which could close schools. However, this would require an exemption from the one hundred ninety-day school year rule and plans for early learning and childcare. Other cities are split on the issue, with some planning to take the holiday and others not. Closing schools could mean no free meals for pupils that day. The report also highlights bigger issues, such as libraries and community spots shutting down, which would hit kids and older folks hard. Essential council services would keep running either way. The decision will affect families across the city, so expect a lively debate at Thursdays full meeting with no staff recommendation.
