Mavisbank School, Staff Cuts
The motion
That Parliament notes with concern that North Lanarkshire Council has decided to remove and replace five experienced members of staff from Mavisbank School in Airdrie; understands that the school supports 25 people aged from five to 18 who have complex additional support and significant medical needs; considers that the local authority has so far failed to address the concerns of families, despite these being raised repeatedly; further notes that over 3,000 people have signed a petition calling on North Lanarkshire Council to abandon these plans, and calls on the council to reconsider its proposals by pausing its implementation and by engaging in consultation with the families of Mavisbank School pupils.
