The River Road Community Alliance is disappointed School District 8 is moving ahead with plans to consider building a new elementary school in Grand Bay and close Morna Heights but Christian Goldie remains optimistic they can do a good job selling the merits of the school when public meetings are held in the fall.
The District Education Council was told a new school would save the school district over 330 thousand dollars and consolidation of the students in one larger school would be better for them with the ideal elementary school housing from 200 to 400 students. Goldie says he doubts those claims.
District 8 Education Council members were also told long term repairs to Morna Heights School will cost an estimated 620 thousand dollars.
