"Still Hope for Blyth School"

Still Hope for Blyth School by Jon Meyer

Although it's slim, there's still hope for Blyth Public School.
Avon Maitland Trustees voted in favour of the School Board's recommendation last year to close the towns only school, and that decision will be reviewed by facilitator Margret Wilson.
Wilson will compile a report to see if the school board did in fact follow all of their policy's and procedures.

Superintendent Mike Ash is confident that her report will not show any wrong doing by the school board. The appeal to the Ministry came from Blyth Parents.
While Wilson's report can make recommendations, she does not have any legislative authority to overturn the boards decision. The report will be handed to the Ministers office later this fall.
