There’s a deadline today (Thursday, June 8th, 2017) for those looking to make presentations at a public meeting next week involving the future of six North Bay schools.

Presenters are required to register for the speakers list and provide their written submission (up to 2 pages in length) to Carrie.Girard@nearnorthschools.ca by noon.

Each person will be given 5 minutes to speak to their written submission.

Monday’s public meeting goes at 6:30 pm in the auditorium at West Ferris Secondary School.

The ARC recommends keeping West Ferris and Widdifield Secondary Schools open, while closing Chippewa.

Staff recommend consultation and analysis to decide which school in the north end of the city, Widdifield or Chippewa, would stay open.

Under the plan E.T. Carmichael, E.W. Norman and W.J. Fricker would be consolidated into a new build on the Fricker site.

Near North Board trustees will be making their final decision June 27th.
