Declining enrolment cited for proposal
By Sarah Mcginnis, Calgary Herald
A southeast community is wrestling with the prospect of losing its local school as the Calgary Board of Education juggles the desire to preserve local schools with the reality of shrinking enrolments.
At a public meeting on Thursday, CBE administrators laid out their case for possibly closing Queensland Downs School. About 120 parents and community members attended.
The communities of Queensland and Deer Run have three elementary schools but only enough students to fill two, the crowd was told.
Queensland Downs and Deer Run schools already have excess space.
Full story here.
I think that, should the Board of Trustees decide to follow CEOP's proposal, that the QLD school community can rest assured that the parent/student communities of both Deer Run and Haultain schools will be as welcoming and accomodating as possible.
