Petition Summary:
Ãcole Gertrude Parker School has been placed on a list for possible closure announced in 2011, as a result of $17.6 million funding cut back to public education.
We are Sackvilleâs only Early French Immersion School. By closing our school this would result in fundamental changes to our neighbourhoods, and those families that travel locally and from surrounding areas to take advantage of the small school benefits. As a small school we offer programs that support student learning, offer more one on one opportunities for teacher to student learning, and provide after school activities for health and wellness of our children. We actively contribute to our community and have spent 35 years educating students from across Sackville.
Action Petitioned For: We the undersigned are concerned citizens who urge the Halifax Regional School Board and the Minister of Education to act now to save Ãcole Gertrude Parker School from closure.
