Province should own the schools and transfer them between School Boards when needed. The current system where certain Boards collect empty buildings, while other struggle to find new space is not sustainable.

Better yet, the province should force the 4 school boards to share facilities and resources. Not only will it bring schools closer to where students live, drastically reducing the amount of bussing required, but it would help tear down the some of the walls in our community. Why is it considered acceptable to segregate our students based on language and religion? What is next? Back school boards?
