A Scottish council has confirmed it is considering introducing a four-day week in its primary and secondary schools to cope with planned funding cuts.
North Ayrshire Council said it was one of a number of options being considered.
If implemented it could save the council more than £2m. But unions have said the move would cause chaos for working parents.
The council last week approved a 2011-12 budget which included cuts of £8.9m.
The local authority aims to bridge a £38m funding gap by 2014.
