All agenda items

The Education Committee decided that the Director of Education may make decisions on procuring school psychologists, school counsellors and school nurses for municipal primary and upper-secondary schools. The contract was estimated to be worth around SEK 11 million per year and to run from August 2027, with the option to extend it until July 2031.

The Education Committee approved the report on the 2026 Stockholm Survey, which was completed by 15,990 students in grade 9 and the second year of upper secondary school and examined young people’s health, habits and living conditions. The results showed, among other things, increased school stress and feelings of insecurity among girls, as well as more gambling for money among boys; several committee members called for preventive measures, better student health services and support for young people.

The Education Committee approved revised guidelines for cooperation between schools and social services to support children and young people who are being harmed or are at risk of harm, and forwarded the matter to the City Council for a decision. The guidelines are intended to clarify responsibilities and ways of working so that children receive equal support across the city. Andréa Hedin, Hanna Werner, Leo Sutic, Gulan Avci and Claes Nyberg entered reservations, arguing, among other things, for greater participation by independent schools in preventive cooperation.

The Education Committee approved a plan to adapt Gustav Vasa School as part of property maintenance and decided to seek approval from the City Executive Board’s Finance and Security Committee. The work will improve ventilation, fire safety and toilets, among other things; the school’s share of the cost is estimated at around SEK 61 million, increasing annual rent by around SEK 4.5 million, and the school will be evacuated from 2029 to 2031. In a special statement, the Sweden Democrats stressed that temporary premises should be near the school and that parents and guardians should be informed and given the opportunity to provide feedback well in advance.

The Education Committee approved the 2026 interim report and forwarded it to the City Executive Board. It also approved SEK 117.4 million for vacant premises and sports facilities, and SEK 2.1 million for investments in sports facilities. Several parties voiced concern about, among other things, academic results, school absenteeism and safety, but the decision was made in line with the administration’s proposal.

The Education Committee noted the delegated decisions and incoming correspondence. The materials included decisions within the Education Administration up to 10 September 2026, amended appropriation directions for the Swedish National Agency for Education, and information about upcoming changes to SL and WÅAB services.

The Education Committee noted the decisions and minutes from the City Council, the City Executive Board and the city’s committees in the field of education. The documents included a plan for coordinated school planning in Stockholm.

The Education Committee noted the minutes of the administration group meeting on 14 September and the Disability Council meeting on 16 September 2026. They included information and discussions about school rules, student support, accessibility and upcoming school reforms.

The administration provided an update on the evacuation of Olovslund School. In response to members’ questions, it said that evacuation options and an analysis of the impact on children would be presented ahead of a forthcoming implementation decision. The committee also received information about the procurement of a new child and student register, school transport, and the increase in Stockholm’s target achievement rate by 1.5 percentage points to 89 percent.

The Liberals asked how pupils at Olofslund School’s adapted compulsory school would be ensured safety, continuity, accessibility and appropriate support during the evacuation and move to new premises. They also wanted to know how the school, school transport and support from the district would be coordinated, and whether additional measures might be needed; the minutes do not state what responses or decisions followed.

The Bromma District Council noted the minutes of the Pensioners’ Council meeting held on 16 September 2026. The council had discussed, among other things, continuity in home care, planning for care homes in Linta and Abrahamsberg, and park accessibility; the district council made no other decisions on the matter.

The Bromma District Council decided to submit the administration’s response to the consultation on a more equitable preschool that supports language development to the City Executive Board. The administration was generally positive about proposals for smaller groups, more staff and better support for children’s Swedish, but stressed the need for funding and clearer guidelines; the Liberals called, among other things, for language assessments and mandatory language-focused preschool, but lost the vote and entered a reservation.

The Bromma District Council approved the administration’s response and forwarded it to the City Executive Board. The administration supported prioritizing already paved land or former industrial sites to reduce impacts on nature, while emphasizing that contaminated land must be carefully cleaned up; the Centre Party and the Liberals also stressed the need to protect Bromma’s green spaces.

The Bromma District Council approved the administration’s response and closed the matter: the gravel pitch by the Småkryp playground, at the intersection of Bielkevägen and Ulvsunda slottsväg, would not be covered with artificial turf. The administration cited environmental concerns and noted that the gravel pitch could be used for more activities year-round, including ice skating in winter. The Liberals and Centre Party instead wanted to improve the area with artificial turf without infill, or a similar surface, but their proposal was rejected; they entered a formal reservation.

Bromma District Council approved Micasa’s investigation of a care home with around 100 places at Linta gårdsväg in Riksby and tasked the administration with commissioning it. The investigation is expected to cost SEK 5 million and run until the second quarter of 2027; construction could start no earlier than around 2036, with residents moving in around 2038. The Liberals and Centre Party welcomed the plans but wanted the pensioners’ council to take part as a permanent reference group.

Bromma District Council approved a notification of measures to address soil contamination in Troll-Olaskogen and forwarded it to the Environment and Health Protection Committee. The administration proposed covering the ground in recreational areas and along walking paths to reduce the risk of people coming into contact with the contamination; the Liberals and the Centre Party expressed concern that the entire green space might not be safe and that nearby areas could also be contaminated.

The Bromma District Council approved the administration’s proposal and report on measures to address soil contamination, mainly PCBs, in Bubbelparken and sent them to the Environment and Health Protection Committee. The contaminated parts of the park remained closed off, and the Liberals and Centre Party expressed concern that the entire playground and nearby areas must be safe.

The Bromma District Council approved the 2026 interim report and forwarded it to the City Executive Board. The council also applied for budget adjustments of SEK 1.7 million for Församlingshuset 6, SEK 0.6 million for housing allowances for people with disabilities, and SEK 0.2 million for Swedish-language training at Mälarbacken 4B; reduced gross budget adjustments of SEK 5.8 million were reported. The Moderates, Liberals and Centre Party entered reservations, while the Sweden Democrats made a special statement concerning, among other things, Swedish-language training and the shortfall in the elderly care budget.

The Norra Innerstad district council supported a shared description of the cultural coordinators’ role, intended to help ensure that residents across Stockholm have more equal access to culture. The council decided to submit the administration’s consultation response to the City Executive Board and to approve the item immediately.

The Norra Innerstaden District Council approved the administration’s response to the consultation and forwarded it to the City Executive Board. The administration was broadly positive about the proposals for more equitable preschools, but wanted, among other things, further examination of mandatory language assessments for three-year-olds and long-term funding for the reforms; the council rejected alternative proposals from the Liberals, Sweden Democrats and Moderates, who entered reservations.
