Thousands oppose school fund cuts

Teacher marking papers
Parents have campaigned against cuts to schools budgets

More than 2,000 people have signed a petition against any cuts to school funding in the Borders.

Scottish Borders Council is considering imposing a 2% "efficiency saving" on the devolved school management money.

Pressure group Parents Against Cuts in Education (PACE) said the response to its petition had been "incredible".

It will be handed over to Scottish Borders Council when its Transforming Children's Services review is discussed on 20 November.
