With the latest strike action set to hit West Lothian schools in January following this week's industrial action, the council’s executive has agreed an £18,000 plan to ensure that primary children who receive free school meals are still fed.
This week’s strike will only impact secondary pupils but the executive agreed on Tuesday to a formula that will give parents £3 per pupil per school meal- similar to the set up created during the school closures in the pandemic lockdowns.
