School District 8 Superintendent Susan Tipper vows the entire curriculum will be covered in spite of the number of days school has been cancelled because of the stormy weather. That has been a concern raised but Tipper says there haven't been as many days in Saint John where school has been cancelled compared to other areas of the province.
Another concern coming to light from city police is the appearance of the drug "ectasy" in the area. Tipper says the discovery of drugs on school property means an immediate call to police and then home to the student's parents or guardians.
Tipper has told CHSJ News she fully supports sending students to jail if they are caught with drugs on school property.
