Education service reform was included in a budget passed last week, as the city faces a £107m budget blackhole over three years.
Last week, a deal between the SNP and the Greens saw the council pass budget plans to address a £107m financial shortfall by 2026/27.
Councils have previously been warned against cutting teacher numbers by the Scottish Government’s education secretary Jenny Gilruth. “For many years education spending has been protected, relative to other services, in the budget process. However, with the education budget now amounting to more than half of service expenditure directed by the council, the level of savings required in the current financial situation is significantly more challenging.
“Discussion will also take place with headteachers next week which will include a review of staffing formulas from the August term.
