It may be disheartening to hear of schools closing, but consider that there are, i believe 20-25 students in this school. this is a disgusting misuse of tax money. I believe education is important, and no one would go without it, but having 3 grades taught in the same class, cannot be a good way to learn.

I find it quite dishearting that rural elementary schools in Colchester County are being closed when the New Cicvic center is going to be over 3/4 million dollars in the red ....I would much rather see my tax dollars being used to keep the schools open ....doesn't seem quite right does it ? ...or am I missing th epoint ?
