Milngavie Primary badly needs refurbished, but this was halted following Tory cuts to Scotland's capital budget.
I'm grateful that @JennyGilruth has accepted my invite to visit the school and I will keep pushing for the funding needed to complete the refurbishment.
"The teacher was very shaken by the incident, and it was quite shocking for parents. She could have been seriously injured."

A section of ceiling fell in a P7 classroom at Milngavie Primary yesterday and almost hit the teacher.
How can @EDCouncil say the school is safe when things like this happen?

It does seem strange that there's money to totally rebuild Lenzie Academy (which is past its best but still intact) but there's no money for a school with mould growing up the walls a few miles away.
.@scotgov provided funding for the new £85m Lenzie Academy.
They now need to step in and fund repairs to Milngavie Primary.
There’s mould in the school, mushrooms in the toilets and leaks in the roof.
@EDCouncil and @scotgov are failing pupils by delaying the refurb indefinitely.
News that Lenzie Academy is to receive Scottish Government funding for a new, state-of-the-art school - accommodating 1,400 pupils - has been welcomed by Council Leader Gordan Low. For more information, visit https://t.co/vHvMfrgN9j

A record number of pupils in Scotland are being taught in schools which are in “good or satisfactory” condition.
This has been supported by continued @ScotGov funding for schools, including support for the £2bn Learning Estate Investment Programme.
