Public School Board defends Evergreen Closure

The Keewatin-Patricia District School Board says it followed its own procedures
when it decided to close Evergreen School.

The public school board has responded to a letter from the Evergreen Parents
who have sent a petition to the Ministry of Education, complaining about the
accommodation review process.

Superintendant of Business Dean Carrie says they have responded in writing to the
parents concerns.

Carrie says the Ministry of Education now has 30 days to decide whether to assign
a facilitator to decide whether the school board did follow its policies properly in making
the decision to close Evergreen at the end of this school year.
