The recommendation from the District 8 Education Council to keep Morna Heights school from closing shows public consultation is not a waste of time. So says Rob Fowler who chairs the District Education Council.
He tells CHSJ News they listened to what the parents had to say and they made a strong case to keep their local school open.
The recommendation, which also includes building a new school in Grand Bay-Westfield, goes to Provincial Education Jody Carr. Fowler says nothing is going to happen for a few years yet so he doesn't expect a decision anytime soon.
