The Board adopted several new citywide plans and guidelines that Bostadsförmedlingen must follow, including measures against racism and policies on the rights of older people, national minorities, LGBTQI people and Roma. The company must also follow the city’s new procurement programme and waste plan, draw up its own rules on representation, bribery and conflicts of interest, and use a new programme for municipal service providers; several older plans and guidelines have been discontinued.

Agenda items
The Board of Bostadsförmedlingen i Stockholm AB adopted the revised rules of procedure and instructions on the division of responsibilities between the board and the managing director. The decision concerned the company’s internal operations and did not directly change how Stockholm residents apply for housing.
The Board of Bostadsförmedlingen i Stockholm AB approved the second interim report for 2026, including a forecast for the year’s results. The report also included a review of the company’s internal controls.
The Guardianship Board noted the Disability Council’s minutes from 20 August 2026. No other decisions or discussions are reported.
The Guardianship Board appointed Henrik Sundqvist as a member of the Disability Council for the Social Services Committee, the Elderly Care Committee and the Guardianship Board through the end of the current term on 31 December 2026. He replaced Elsa Brunemalm, who had stepped down, and the decision was sent to the Social Services Committee and the Elderly Care Committee for their information.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
