Postponing a decision on potential school closures, the school district has set a date to further consult the public on alternative uses of facilities.
The meeting, Feb. 22 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Shatford Centre, is set to explore the facilities of the six schools which have been included in closure discussion — Carmi, McNicoll Park, Parkway, West Bench Elementary School, Giant’s Head School and Trout Creek.
“Anyone who has interest or an idea can come forward with a presentation and give it at that time to be given consideration by the trustees,” said secretary-treasurer Bonnie Roller-Routley.
The special board of education meeting where it is anticipated the trustees will vote on school closures will take place on March 9 at 7 p.m. at the IMC building located being the school board office.
