Funding~~ Not for NMECE

North Huron has been approved for a little funding,

but it's not earmarked for NMECE,

as the board would like some parents to assume. It is for a JK-6 school. Still our 7 and 8's will be put into highschool, schools would still be closed (including Blyth). Why not make it a middle school instead?
