School week could be cut to four days as West Dunbartonshire Council attempts to balance budget

The school week could be cut to four days in West Dunbartonshire, under shock proposals to help the local authority close its £14m budget gap.

Members at Church Street will meet on March 1 to discuss how to close WDC's biggest ever budget deficit - which sat at more than £20m in December.

One potential option which is set to be presented to members will be plans to cut the school week by a day, with the local authority estimating that this could save £1.3m in 2023/24, rising to £2m in 2024/25.
