Aberdeen City Council is seeking your views on a new Devolved School Management (DSM) scheme which, once approved, will be effective from August 2020. This scheme sets out the arrangements for how funding for education is managed and makes clear the roles and responsibilities of headteachers and the local authority. A range of people have worked together to write the Draft Guidance and we are now seeking the views of parents/carers, children and young people on the scheme.
Copies of the draft summary document and the full draft scheme are attached.

The Children’s Parliament has now launched its May edition of the national wellbeing survey How are you doing? They are hoping that adults – parents, family and community members and professional colleagues – will help direct and support children aged 8 to 14 years old to take part. The survey is here bit.ly/Coronavirus_Kids
They have also published a short report on early findings from their April How are you doing? survey; 4,000 children took part. Finally, they have launched the Corona Times Journal, with Members of Children’s Parliament (MCPs) reporting on life at the moment, and will publish the Journal fortnightly. You can find the April survey report and Journal here: bit.ly/Coronavirus_Kids
