Minister of State, Scottish Office
St Andrew's House, Edinburgh

15th September 1989

These Regulations further amend the Education (Publication and Consultation Etc.) (Scotland) Regulations 1981. They take account of the fact that by virtue of the School Boards (Scotland) Act 1988, which sets up School Boards, school councils established under section 125 of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 (c. 65) are abolished with effect from 1st November 1989 (being the day after the final date prescribed for the holding of elections to the first School Boards to be established).

The 1981 Regulations require an education authority to consult various interested bodies, including the relevant school council, when making proposals of a prescribed kind affecting a school. These Regulations amend the 1981 Regulations so as to substitute references to a School Board for those made to a school council, and otherwise insert references to a School Board, making such a Board a body to be consulted in respect of prescribed proposals.
