Facilitator Named to look at Evergreen School Closure

The provincial government has named an independant facilitator to look at the closure of Evergreeen School by the Keewatin Patricia District School Board.

The Ministry of Education has announced that Joan Green will begin the administrative review of the Kenora Accomodation Review Committee on March 21st.

Green is a former director of Education in Toronto and was the founding CEO of the Ontario Education Quality and Accountability Office.

She will report back to the Ministry of Education within four to eight weeks with her final report.

While the facilitor cannot overturn the school board's decision to close Evergreen it can determine whether the public school board followed its own policies.
