The Farsta District Council approved the administration's response regarding the implementation of new secrecy legislation, effective December 2025. The administration stated that the law increases possibilities for information sharing between social services, schools, and police, though individual assessments and consent remain crucial, and ethical challenges persist. The opposition welcomed the expanded scope for information sharing but urged caution against hindering new working methods and will monitor the law's practical impact, especially in crime prevention and SSPF collaborations.

The Farsta District Council approved the first triannual report for 2026, which included the administration's environmental and climate action plan and adjusted annual goals for summer jobs, along with several budget adjustments and professional development grants. The Moderates, Liberals, and Centre Party reserved their positions due to financial concerns, criticizing the handling of the Postiljonen care home and the insourcing of park maintenance, while the Sweden Democrats also reserved, criticizing the proposal for democracy ambassadors and deficiencies in the decision basis for some professional development applications.
The Election Committee acknowledged the City Auditors' 2025 annual report, which found the committee's operations to be largely appropriate, economically satisfactory, and to have sufficient internal governance and control. The City Council subsequently granted discharge from liability to the Election Committee and its members for 2025.
The Election Committee approved its first quarterly report for 2026, showing that 3.3 million SEK of the 88.1 million SEK budget had been used. The report also indicated the committee requested an 8 million SEK budget increase, offset by increased state grants for election implementation, which has now been forwarded to the City Executive Board for further action.
The Education Committee addressed a letter from the Center Party regarding the consequences of teenage and skills-based deportations for Stockholm's schools. The administration reported that they do not keep statistics on deportation decisions and thus cannot estimate how many students or employees are affected. The committee approved the administration's response, which stated that student health services support affected students through their regular work and that the recruitment situation is considered good.
The Education Committee decided to forward a letter from the Liberals regarding support for headteachers to the Education Administration. The Administration will now prepare the matter for further processing.
The Education Committee approved the Education Administration's statement regarding a motion by Andréa Hedin (M) to use a GIS-based analysis tool for visualizing student results geographically and promoting a more equitable school. The Administration, while positive about data-informed analysis, noted that the motion's aim is already being addressed in ongoing development work and that a separate tool would fragment resources. The decision was immediately adjusted, and Vice-Chair Andréa Hedin (M) reserved herself against the decision.
Stockholm's Education Committee approved changes to its delegation rules, empowering the Director of Education to further delegate decision-making for various matters, including existing and new areas like distance learning and school transport. These changes, effective July 1, 2026, aim to streamline decision processes and ensure decisions are made closer to students and staff.
The Stockholm City Education Committee approved a statement in response to the Swedish Schools Inspectorate's referrals regarding new and expanded independent upper secondary schools. The Committee found no general need for more student places in Stockholm due to declining student numbers until 2034. While applications for nationally approved sports education were seen as complementary, expansions of certain vocational, university preparatory, and an international school program were deemed potentially detrimental to the city's education system. The decision was immediately adjusted, and Linnéa Vinge (SD) dissented, proposing instead an emphasis on freedom of choice and geographical spread.
The Stockholm Education Committee rejected seven applications to establish new independent schools or expand existing ones, including international schools, preschool classes, and after-school programs. This decision was based on the Education Administration's assessment that the city's need for school places has decreased and that municipal schools can meet the demand. However, the Moderates, Liberals, Centre Party, and Sweden Democrats reserved their positions, proposing that certain expansion applications should be approved.
The Education Committee approved the Education Administration's official statement, which was an account to the Swedish Schools Inspectorate. The Inspectorate had previously reviewed Stockholm City's compulsory and upper secondary schools, identifying areas for improvement, including analyses of study results, safety, and the effects of compensatory measures. The Education Administration reported on actions taken to strengthen systematic quality work, deepen results analysis, and clarify expected outcomes of initiatives.
The Stockholm Education Committee has decided that vacant lead teacher positions will be filled with fixed-term appointments instead of permanent ones, to better align the roles with schools' development needs. This decision only applies to new and open positions, not current lead teachers.
