Dear Parents and Carers
I refer to my letter of 8th March 2023 regarding the forthcoming planned days of strike action on 15th, 16th and 17th March 2023 declared by the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS).
As stated in my letter, we were awaiting the outcome of the ballot of its members being carried out by EIS and that ballot closed today, Friday 10th March 2023 at 10am. I can confirm that the result of the ballot has been announced with the majority of the votes recommending acceptance of the pay offer.
As a result of this the EIS have called off all strike action for next week and all schools and early learning and childcare settings will be open to children and young people as normal.
Yours sincerely
Nicola McDowell
Head of Education
