Angus Council has revealed a full list of schools set to shut during strikes next week.
Thousands of pupils are set to be affected when staff walk out on September 26, 27 and 28 amid an ongoing dispute over pay.
The action involves Unison members working for the council and Unite members of Tayside Contracts.
The strikes do not involve teachers.
A spokesperson for Angus Council said: “The strike notice includes all Unison members working for Angus Council in schools and Unite members in Tayside Contracts who provide services for the running and operation of the school.
“Decisions regarding which settings can open have been taken following careful risk assessment.”
The strikes will go ahead unless a pay deal is reached before then.
