The DEC has been hosting public meetings as they look at possibly closing Morna Heights, Grand Bay Primary, and/or Inglewood Schools in order to have a new one built in Grand Bay-Westfield.
Fowler tells CHSJ News he doesn't want anybody to think that the decision to close down Morna Heights has already been made and the meetings have been lip service.
He says the meetings have been the DEC's way of performing due diligence and to see the impact a closure would have on the community.
The DEC will send a recommendation to the province in February.
There will be public input session tonight at Inglewood beginning at 7pm.
