Facilitator agrees with School Board's Decision to close Evergreen

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

That's the finding of a facilitator hired by the provincial government to look into the closure of the elementary school.

Joan Green was appointed by the Ministry of Education this past winter after parents at Evergreen complained about the process.

But in a report by the former head of the Education Quality and Accountability office, Green says the school board was thorough and compliant wih its school accommodation policy.

The board had initially decided to close Evergreen at the end of this school year, but has agreed to delay the closure for another year.
