At least nine extra additional support needs (ASN) classes will be made available to children with learning disabilities in West Dunbartonshire over the next five years.
The local authority’s education committee has agreed that it is now necessary to expand secondary provision for children with complex needs, which means they will be looked after in their own community.
It comes after the committee approved its learning estate strategy from 2020 to 2030 with £300,000 allocated for future ASN expansion at various locations including Kilpatrick School, which is phase one of the development.
