No Funding Yet for Kemnay Academy
North East MSP, Alex Johnstone, has
expressed his disappointment that Kemnay Academy has been
overlooked in the latest round of school buildings to be
part funded by the Scottish Government.
The announcement comes less than two weeks
after the local Conservative candidate raised the matter
with the Junior Education Minister, Keith Brown MSP, in
questions to the Scottish Ministers in Parliament on 17
September.
Speaking after Kemnay was omitted from the
latest funding round, the Conservative MSP said: “I am
disappointed that Kemnay Academy has been missed off the
list of priorities for this next funding round after I had
raised the school and its needs with the Minister so
recently.
“Nonetheless, the campaign will continue to
secure support for this vital project and I will also be
demanding that the Government forget their dogmatic
opposition to the kind of funding mechanisms which provided
other school buildings including the new secondary school at
Old Meldrum in recent years.
“The young people of Kemnay and its
surrounding area deserve better treatment than this. The
campaign will go on.”
