There has been a fair bit of controversy over a walk-out by secondary students at a number of Argyll and Bute schools last week, including Oban High.
The pupils were protesting about Argyll and Bute Council’s budget cuts, which were threatening to target youthand adult services, among a range of other cost saving ideas. Youthand adults services were earmarked to lose some 17 full-time equivalent positions in a bid to save £330,000.
