Mayland Heights group seeks 'fair shot'

Mayland Heights Elementary parents are worried a proposal to cut the school's regular English program could be a precursor to closing the facility altogether.
The Calgary Board of Education is holding an open house today from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. for parents to offer feedback before trustees consider whether to move ahead with the process of closing the regular program.
"I'm opposed to it, absolutely," said Pam Halla, chairwoman of the school's parent council.
"We honestly believe that in another two to three years, Mayland Heights will be closed."
As of Sept. 30, 446 students were enrolled at Mayland Heights, 52 of which are in the regular program, said Halla. The rest are enrolled in French immersion.
