Parrot Will Support Whatever Decision Is Made On Morna Heights School

With the possibility of Morna Heights School closing, MLA Jim Parrott says he's committed to parents who want the school to say open, but he'll support whatever decision is made after the public consultation process. Parents raising concerns that a new school in Grand Bay would mean larger class sizes and longer bus rides for their kids. Parrott tells CHSJ News it's a fact of life children get bused to school.

He says kids that live in the country can spend up to 90 minutes on the bus both ways.

Parrott says it's important parents go through the consultation process and voice their opinions because once a decision is made, there's no going back. There are two things Parrott didn't want to discuss..His health and how hospitals will cope with tighter budgets.
