GLASGOW CITY COUNCIL
The City Council’s committees meet regularly and the Council diary contains lists of these in advance. The Council also publishes minutes of past meetings in book form at regular intervals but most often the entry is uninformative and merely records facts such as “A report by the Director was submitted and approved by the committee”.
The Council’s website contains copies of all the reports needed by councillors at these meetings, but finding them can be difficult. Click on the following link, enter the committee name and the date of the meeting (obtained from the diary or the published minutes) and then follow the onscreen links.

SCHOOLS
1 Jordanhill School
The school lies in the heart of the
community and has a unique status. It
is funded by a direct grant from the Scottish Executive, and is neither a local
authority school, nor is it a private or independent school. No fees are paid, and there is no academic
selection of pupils.
It provides both primary and secondary
education and the majority of parents within the area attempt to send their
children to the school which has a large waiting list.
