A report by the Depute Chief Executive (Education, Communities and Organisational Development) updated the Council on work to re-activate engagement on a new approach to developing a long term strategy for the learning estate, as approved by Children and Young People's Committee on 4 March 2020 and sought approval for a response to the Scottish Government on how the Council is developing the learning strategy, including identification of a priority project for investment as part of Phase 2 of the Scottish Government Learning Estate Investment Programme.

ii) to submit a response to the Scottish Government Learning Directorate on the Council's progress on developing the Learning Estate Strategy with a view to securing potential opportunities for funding to support the Council's investment in the improvement of the Learning Estate and instructs the Depute Chief Executive (Education, Communities and Organisational Development) to submit the response on the basis set out in this report;
   
iii) that the above response includes the priority project identified as set out in the report;
   
iv) the provision of £243,000 budget for the establishment of a Service Manager post supported by a Project Officer, Community Support Officer, Communications Officer and operational budget; and
