Schools Future Decided Tonight

A decision on the fate of Sturgeon Creek, and two other small schools in the west end of the district is expected tonight.

Trustees with the Rainy River District School Board are to vote on whether to keep them open, or amalgamate them as one.

They indicated a willingness at a special meeting last month, to keep the schools open, which include Crossroads in Devlin and Donald Young in Emo.

They also supported the idea of building a new school to replace the aging Emo facility.

Administration has recommended all three become one as part of a new school in Emo.
