Still no light shed on the size of the next South Shore Regional School board. Five former members that include Karen Reinhardt, Max Rafuse, Marg Forbes, Herb Seymour and Elliott Payzant spoke Monday at the hearing with the province's Utility and Review Board. Many of them believing a one-person school board shouldn't be tasked with making recommendations about its future size. Judith Sullivan-Corney says it's all part of the hearing.The majority of the five former members favoured a nine-member board with two at-large representatives. Sullivan-Corney says the preferred option is a six-member board with two representatives from the African Nova Scotian and Mik'maq communities. The URB is now tasked with reviewing all the information. Mr. Roland Deveau, acting vice-chair with the review board, indicated a decision will likely be made in the next 30-60 days.
