Councillors have voted to start formal consultation to close two Powys primary schools in a bid to save up to £200,000 a year.
A Mid Wales family has been given £1,000 to help rebuild their lives after they were forced to flee from their bedroom window as fire tore through their home.
A Mid Wales school is hoping that it will be able to attract new pupils and stave off the threat of closure by offering a free school bus service.
