School District 8 To Look At Future Of St. Pat's

There has been alot of talk about the possible closure of Morna Heights school but there's another school in a different part of town whose fate can only be described as uncertain.

St. Patrick's school on the lower west side was built back in 1924. Rob Fowler chairs the District 8 Education Council and admits there is concern over the age of the building and the increasing costs to maintain it. As well, the school district leases the building from the Diocese of Saint John.

There has been talk of expanding Havelock and transferring the students from St. Pat's and Seawood there or making Seawood larger.

 Fowler says any decision is still a long way off.
