Councillors have today unanimously agreed to proceed with the Passivhaus project to rebuild Perth High School.
Costs have escalated from a previously approved budget of £68.7 million to £80.2 million - half of which will be met by the Scottish Government's Learning Estate Investment Programme.
Moving to press ahead with the project Learning and Families convener John Rebbeck said Perth High School was a "priority" for the SNP group.
