To sell them because the province is underfunding education is a travesty in my mind. What about future generations who will live here, perhaps need the school again and definitely will need the open space. This is very bad for our community and should be stopped. Public schools have been underfunded for years. I have the feeling that the government wants to get rid of public education which I think is the backbone of our culture.

I'm certainly prepared to pay more in taxes for quality schools. The district, by acquiescing to the provincial government, is complicit in imposing the neo-liberal agenda of gutting the public school system.

We need to "cut the fat out of the middle" to replace the money that has been taken out of the classrooms and schools in this district, especially in light of what parents rightfully expect to be provided to their children in our public schools. Our students deserve direct support instead of data collection for accountability priorities.

More often the children of our new immigrants achieve the highest standings in our schools, because of the emphasis their parents put on education. They understand what many established Canadians do not. Education is key to progress, peace, development and the reduction of poverty. What about this simple fact is so hard to understand. The lowest common denominator is unacceptable!
