School closure meeting lacks decisive direction

With William's school, Connaught, imminent closure coming this summer, the meeting in the school gym this evening featured an hour of power point slides (most of which were on the handout everyone got as they entered) and was followed by the angry questions from parents who will accept no solution other than the immediate repair of the existing school as a heritage site. While the school board can be stubborn, they cannot hold a candle to these parents. Options on the table so far are to displace everyone to the condemned Wascana school, or split the school into different groups in two to five schools. As always, the evening left me angry, frustrated, and without any real knowledge.
