Nova Scotia’s school site selection committee under fire
“. . .
NDP Education critic Claudia Chender has been an outspoken opponent of the province’s decision to disband elected school boards. She said Tuesday’s announcement is one of many limiting public accountability and transparency.
‘This new process continues the Liberal government’s pattern of leaving out community voices and lacking commitment to transparency,’ said Chender. ‘Schools are vital community hubs. Residents served by these schools know best what sites would work for them. When eliminating school boards, the minister said communities would have more direct access to decision-making, but this new policy is the opposite of that.’
