School Board: Reinhardt Unhappy With URB Decision

Karen Reinhardt
A former school board member calls it a disappointing decision by the province's Utility and Review Board. The URB made a decision Monday to set the school board at eight seats, down from 12 in the 2008 election. Karen Reinhardt says its an erosion of the democratic process to cut four seats from the board. She says the public will feel the effects of the cut.



Reinhardt feels the URB ignored public input that was provided during a hearing in Bridgewater last month. School board elections will be held this fall.
