The Guardianship Board approved the 2026 forecast and submitted it to the City Executive Board. The board also requested SEK 20 million from the central contingency reserve to cover increased fees for legal guardians and administrators; SACO and Vision disagreed with the report’s description of shortcomings in the Lex case management system and called for a new system to be procured urgently.

The district director provided information on September 24, 2026. The minutes do not show what the information concerned or whether any decision was made.

The committee was notified of responses to two citizen proposals, which had been handled following a committee decision on 27 August 2026. One concerned the maintenance of the pond in Långbroparken, and the other the role of district boundaries in determining land lease fees; the content of the responses is not provided here.

The district council received the pensioners’ council’s comments from its meeting on 16 September and filed the minutes. The council raised, among other things, the need for more park benches, finances in individual and family services, and issues related to home care, special transport services and local transport; the administration was to follow up or look into several of these matters.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council noted the report on the 2026 citizen survey, with no further decisions. Of the 381 respondents, most were satisfied with the parks and felt safe, but many were dissatisfied with winter road maintenance and felt that cultural offerings and opportunities for informal sports needed improvement; Robin Nilsen (L) submitted a separate statement on these shortcomings and the need to strengthen residents’ ability to influence decisions.

The committee reviewed an assessment of how the City of Stockholm allocates funding for financial assistance among its districts. The proposal was to update land values and change the area boundaries; Hägersten-Älvsjö estimated that the changes would reduce its allocation by SEK 2.7 million and asked for clear information on how the allocation is calculated. The committee noted the report on its statement and filed it.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council approved the administration’s comments and sent them to the City Executive Board in response to the consultation on the city’s tree policy. The administration welcomed the policy but called, among other things, for trees felled in development projects to be replaced, and for the rules on planting above utility lines and on funding to be clarified; the proposal was adopted by 7 votes to 6. The Moderates, Sweden Democrats, Liberals and Centre Party reserved their positions, calling for every felled municipal tree to be replaced by two new ones, while the Sweden Democrats also criticised the exemption for development projects in a separate statement.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council approved the administration’s response to the Liberals’ proposal: it could not commission a new monument because that fell outside its remit and budget, but it would replace the hard-to-read plaque with one bearing engraved text. The Liberals, Moderates, Sweden Democrats and Centre Party reserved their positions, calling for the plaque to also tell the story of the abuse at the boys’ home.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council approved an updated delegation order, which takes effect on 1 October 2026. The changes clarify, among other things, who may make decisions on activity requirements and income support, and cover new support cases for asylum seekers and newly arrived residents; the chair’s proposal was supported by the council.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council approved the 2026 interim report and sent it to the City Executive Board and the city’s auditors. The report assessed that all 16 targets would be met and showed a surplus of SEK 16.4 million before and SEK 10.6 million after transfers of results; the council also approved budget adjustments and the transfer of SEK 4.5 million to support older people with addiction problems. The Sweden Democrats entered a reservation, calling for more information about the reallocation, while the Moderates and Liberals raised specific concerns about, among other things, preschools, safety, elder care and the social services deficit.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council approved the administration’s response to a citizen proposal for a park bench along the footpath by Östra Mässkopplet in Älvsjö. The administration will install a bench along the roughly 600-metre stretch between Älvsjö centre and Willys, giving pedestrians, especially older people, a place to rest.

The administration reported that 37 decisions on support under the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS) had not been implemented within three months during the second quarter of 2026. A further 11 decisions had been closed without being implemented, while 15 had been implemented; the committee noted the report.

Lennart Ploom reported that a café would be trialled at Kungsklippan. The initiative was a collaboration with Glasade Gården, a work-oriented day programme in Hägersten-Älvsjö.

The Archives Committee proposed that the Culture Committee approve the City Archives’ second four-month report for 2026 and forward it to the City Executive Board. The Committee also decided to report budget changes of SEK 0.8 million; the matter was to be adjusted immediately.

The Education Committee approved the administration’s response to Jan Jönsson’s (L) submission, concluding that schools’ health conversations and check-ups already provide an adequate way to identify eating disorder concerns; students who need treatment are referred to healthcare services. In a separate statement, Gulan Avci (L) argued that the support system does not identify enough young people early on and that many cases still go undetected.

The Education Committee decided to refer a letter about special support in compulsory schools and two initiatives on school transport to the administration for review. The initiatives proposed a shared system for reporting and monitoring school transport problems and an open school transport commission, but the committee did not decide to implement the proposals; several members reserved their positions.

The Education Committee approved the administration’s response to Jan Jönsson’s (L) motion on supporting principals who face undue pressure from parents and guardians. The administration described legal, communications, administrative and security support, as well as peer networks, but noted that there are no citywide rules governing contact between parents and guardians and schools. Gulan Avci (L) submitted a special statement calling for clearer guidelines and more support.

The Education Committee approved the administration’s response and sent it to the City Executive Board. An ongoing review of awards for schools will also consider which professional groups could be recognised, beyond teachers and school leaders. Andréa Hedin (M) wanted to support the motion for a new supplementary award, but the committee chose the administration’s proposal; Hedin entered a reservation.

The Education Committee approved the proposal for revised templates for schools’ expectations documents. The new templates will comply with the requirements of the Education Act from 1 August 2026 and set out shared expectations for primary schools, adapted primary schools, upper secondary schools and adapted upper secondary schools.

The Education Committee authorized the Director of Education to manage the procurement of cleaning services for municipal schools in the Inner City, including selecting a supplier and signing or extending contracts. A previous procurement had been cancelled due to insufficient competition; the new procurement was estimated to be worth around SEK 70 million per year, and the decision followed the administration’s proposal.
