The Rainy River District School Board is giving parents an opportunity to learn more about plans to relocate grade 7 and 8 students at Robert Moore School to Fort Frances High School.
A meeting is scheduled for tonight at the high school’s library beginning at 6:30 p.m.
Superintendent of Education Al McManaman says parents and others can come out and get a look at the proposal.
“And it’s just an opportunity for them maybe to do a tour. Ask questions they may not have thought about yet and just to have an opportunity to discuss all the things that they may really want to know more about,” says McManaman.
The board moved grade 7 and 8 students from J.W. Walker School in 2017.
McManaman says there is ample space to add more students.
“There was space there that from the beginning when we first looked at moving seven eight from J.W. Walker in. there what space available even then in terms of extending the number of classes available for seven eight students there.”
Tonight’s meeting is part of the consultation the board is doing before approving the move.
“A committee looks at this and then passed forward onward afterwards to the board. It’s us trying to gather all the information we can from stakeholders, students, people, parents, so that trustees can make an informed decision about that.”
A final decision is expected later this spring.
