The Executive will take forward with COSLA discussion of the Convention's unsuccessful attempt to produce a Code of Practice on rural school closures, following a recommendation to that effect made to COSLA by the Education, Culture and Sport Committee. The purpose of such discussion will be to consider the original objectives, progress made and whether, and if so how, this matter should be pursued.
