COUNCILLORS have approved the dates of school holidays in Argyll and Bute until 2023.
The dates were proposed after consultation with schools and parent councils, and were then agreed by head teachers and professional bodies, before being approved by the local authority's community services committee at a meeting in Lochgilphead on June 13.
The committee also approved the dates of two additional in-service days for 2019-10 previously announced by the Scottish Government.
In Helensburgh and Lomond, those in-service days will take place on November 25, 2019 and May 21, 2020.
