Communities Hold Meeting To Discuss School Closure Options


The communities of Gold River and Western Shore are holding a meeting Wednesday night to discuss their options to avert a school closure. Residents are up in arms with the school board's decision to close their school this summer because of the lack of transition period for students to attend Chester District Elementary in September.The school board stood by their decision to keep the school closed during a meeting late last week and Education Minister Ramona Jennex has said she won't interfere or make changes to the Education Act. The meeting will be held at the Western Shore Fire Hall at 7pm.
