Councillors were told the service won't escape cuts that will need to be made to balance the books
Falkirk Council is to appoint a second head of education to help deliver "transformational change" at a time when council finances are being squeezed.
At a recent meeting of Falkirk Council, chief executive Kenneth Lawrie told councillors: "Given the scale of the service, given the priorities that we are aware of and given the importance of that service for our communities, the scale of change required, and indeed the scale of savings that will be required, we need to think what the best way of structuring the service is.
Mr Lawrie added: "When you benchmark with other local authorities of a similar size, having two heads of education is not uncommon at all."
