More School Closures Possible

An education advocacy group says Ontario will see an unprecedented number of school closings unless funding models are updated.

In a report due out later today, People for Education says schools are threatened by an ever-shrinking school-age population due to declining birth rates.

It says 172 Ontario schools are slated or recommended to close over the next three years and another 163 are under review.
