Evergreen Parents petition against school closure

Parents at Evergreen School are planning to launch a campaign to keep the elementary school open.

The petition is aimed at appealing the decision by the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board to close the facility at the end of this school year.

Supporters say they need about 60 signatures on the petition so they can take their appeal to the to the Ministry of Education.

The parents want the Ministry to review how the whole process was conducted.

The decision to close the school means most students would be tranferred to Lakewood School next
fall.
