A big shift is coming from the provincial government concerning how school boards consider schools for potential closure.
Education Minister Mitzie Hunter says school boards won’t be able to put any more schools up for closure as the government overhauls the process. Hunter also says schools already on the cutting board will remain there.
The province is also investing $20 million to address local needs in rural and northern communities, beginning in September. The funding will go towards providing students with more access to flexible transportation options, better programming such as French immersion, and arts education.
