Dear Clackmannanshire Council,

I hope this message finds you well.

Under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, I am requesting access to information regarding teacher numbers within your council.

Specifically, I seek:

1. Copies of all correspondence (including emails, memos, letters, meeting minutes, briefings, or reports) sent or received by the Director of Education regarding discussions on maintaining, increasing, or reducing teacher numbers.

This includes, but is not limited to:

2. Correspondence or reports sent to or received from external bodies, such as the Scottish Government, COSLA, or trade unions, related to teacher staffing levels or workforce planning.
Internal communications or briefings about budget implications affecting teacher numbers, recruitment strategies, or potential redundancies.
Records of any meetings, consultations, or decisions where teacher numbers were discussed, including agendas or notes.

To keep this request manageable and within the £600 cost limit:

Please limit the search to communications sent or received between 1 January 2024 and the present date.
If retrieving this information is likely to exceed the cost limit, please let me know so I can refine the request accordingly.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If you require any further clarification to process this request, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I look forward to your response.
