Province to Appoint Facilitator to look into Evergreen Closure

Parents at Evergreen School haven't won the war yet, but they have scored

a minor victory.

The Ministry of Education has agreed to appoint a facilitator to look into
the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board's decision to close Evergreen
at the end of this school year.

Patti Letourneau is a member of the parents committee they really don't know
how the process is going to unfold.

The Ministry of Education says it can't overturn the school board's decision, but
it can determine if the public board followed its own processes in closing the
school.
