Scalloway junior high will close this summer
COUNCILLORS have voted to close Scalloway junior high school’s secondary department at the end of the summer term by 15 votes to five.
Shetland Islands Council threw out a motion put forward by seven councillors that the school should be kept open until a new Anderson High School had been built in Lerwick, which is estimated for 2017.
