A consultation will start on closing Blackness Primary School if councillors agree with education officials.
A village school with just 11 pupils could be closed for good by Falkirk Council , if councillors agree to start a consultation.
If the change goes ahead, pupils would attend Grange Primary School in Bo'ness, three miles away, with free school transport provided.The report reveals that the cost of educating pupils at Blackness is around £32,388 per pupil every year, compared to a council average of £5,815 and closure would save the council more than £215,000 every year.
A proposal to mothball the school in 2022 was met with anger from members of the local community who insisted that the school roll was set to rise.
