This document discusses determinations made by the Scottish Government regarding school closure proposals. It notes that differing interpretations of the 2010 Act have led to many cases being called in. The aim is to significantly reduce the number of cases requiring to be called in by improving the quality of proposals. Key drivers for change include experience applying the 2010 Act, a report by the Rural Commission, and a recent judicial review. The document outlines how determinations and decisions will now be made, focusing on whether education authorities have properly followed the 2010 Act and considered all relevant factors. While the recent court ruling provides clarity, amendments to the 2010 Act may still be needed to fully address the issues.
