Public Meetings On Sturgeon Creek School Wrap Up

A committee reviewing Sturgeon Creek Public School in Barwick is expected to present its final recommendations to the Rainy River District School Board next month.

The committee held its final public meeting last night.

Many presenters want the school kept open citing the academic achievements and its importance to the surrounding community.

Other are worried of long-bus rides for students if they're required to attend school elsewhere.

The committee will meet next week before presenting its recommendation to the board at its February meeting.
