Parkdale Brings Strong Showing To Board Meeting

The friends of Parkdale School came out in force for the latest meeting of the Eastern School Board's public consultations on school closures held at Colonel Gray with close to 300 people in attendance. 

Led by the Parkdale Home and School Association they made themselves heard during the question and answer session with Superintendent Sandy MacDonald and during presentations to the school board trustees. Six presentations were made in support of keeping Parkdale open because of questions about student safety, access to green space, and loss of enhanced programming and support services. Many questions were asked on details about Parkdale that were left out of the report and mistakes about Parkdale that were in the report. New facts and new ideas were given to the board.  

The message delivered was loud and clear that Parkdale School is a thriving school that gives students a quality learning environment with strong programs and should stay open.

Thank you to all who made presentations, asked questions and showed their support. A special thank you to the school staff who came out and showed their support.
