The folks who live in South Bay are holding a meeting tonight as they try to keep the doors to Morna Heights school open. School District 8 has talked about merging the school with others sometime down the road because of low enrollment.
Mayor Ivan Court, a retired school teacher, says small schools need to stay open because young people shouldn't have to spend hours on a bus or leave their community to get an education and the smaller classes are better for them.
Councillor Bill Farren agrees saying small schools need to stay open because they create a sense of community in their neighbourhoods.
The meeting kicks off at 7 o'clock at the K-B-M centre on Westfield Road.
