Schools in Powys could be forced to close due to the deteriorating state of their buildings.
The lack of money to maintain school buildings has been identified as a major risk to add to Powys County Council's strategic risk register and was discussed at a cabinet meeting.
Councillor Thomas said: “The potential consequences are the withdrawal of use of the asset leading to disruption to educational continuity with the partial or full closure to school.” Deteriorating buildings could also see a school “escalated” to become part of the schools transforming education programme.
Director of corporate services Emma Palmer believed it was important not to see the risk register in “isolation” but also consider the work done to address the issues.
