West Dunbartonshire's SNP council leader says he will “not defend the indefensible” as the Scottish Government moves to cut the area's local attainment fund by £2 million.
Since its launch in 2015/16 the local authority has received more than £12.5 million in funding from the attainment challenge funding pot which had been allocated by the Scottish Government.
The money is designed to close the school achievement gap between children from poorer backgrounds and wealthy ones.
