Nova Scotia advisory council on education meets behind closed doors for first time
“Claudia Chender, an NDP MLA for Dartmouth South, says she has been skeptical of the claim that PACE was ‘somehow’ going to take the place of the school boards.
‘At least if these meetings were open, if people had access to this council and if people understood the issues that are being discussed, there would be some public forum that parents and other concerned citizens could engage with,’ Chender said in an interview on Monday.
But behind closed doors, Chender says there is no avenue to have discussions.
Paul Wozney, president of the Nova Scotia Teachers Union, agrees with Chender’s comments.”
