Now for a maths lesson...

£100 million to build, and maintain for 30 years, six secondary schools to replace seven secondary schools.

The only area to lose a school will be Bishopbriggs.

Bishopbrigss - two secondary schools Bishopbriggs High School and Thomas Muir High School

Two school divided by one school = saving
Two sets of running costs divided by one set = saving
Two group of ancillary staff divided by one group = saving
Two groups of teaching staff divided by one group = saving
Using both schools fully during construction of BA and StN = saving
Two sites (one on the outskirts - one on prime town centre land) divided by the prime site to sell = windfall
Loss of the new £1 million sports arena on the Bishopbriggs High site = unfortunate


When the final costs are in you'll see how much Bishopbriggs Academy benefited from these savings and the windfall, it presented to the council.

Then you can compare these figures to what the council spent on each of the other schools.
