School District 8 may have among the oldest schools in the province but none of them is in such bad shape to be closed down which happened to the Moncton High building.
Rob Fowler, who chairs the District 8 Education Council, says older schools are more expensive to maintain but there won't be any provincial money coming......at least not yet. He is optimistic the school district might get some funding from the province in the next round.
Fowler concedes with declining enrollments, the school district will have to look at closing some schools which, in most cases, is controversial.
