Edinburgh School Partnership set to lose millions more in fees until all schools re-open
The consortium behind the Edinburgh PFI schools saga will continue to face financial penalties for a total of five months.
The Edinburgh Schools Partnership, which operates 17 schools that have been closed since April to repair storm damage, is having its 拢1.5m fee withheld while the works are carried out.
three of the schools will re-open this month, with a further four in May, but the remaining ten will not re-open until August.
A market source told 黑洞社区 ESP will forgo a proportion of its fee equivalent to the number of schools that are closed in any given month.
A council spokesperson said: 鈥淲e are in daily contact with Edinburgh Schools Partnership and their contractual obligations form part of those discussions. The council will be applying all contractual terms which includes deductions for non-availability of buildings.鈥� ESP was unavailable for comment.
