Public Meetings On School Closures To Be Held This Week

The controversial proposal of closing down Morna Heights, Grand Bay Primary, and Inglewood School in order to build a super-school will in the spotlight once again.

School District 8 will be holding 3 public meetings to discuss the issue and Chair of the District 8 Education Council Rob Fowler tells CHSJ News nothing is set in stone.

He says any closures, if they were approved, would not occur for about 5 years.

Parents against the closures are concerned about longer bus rides and larger class sizes for their children.

The first meeting will be held a Morna Heights School tomorrow at 7:30pm, with meetings on Wednesday and Thursday at Grand Bay Primary and Inglewood respectively.
