Notice of Motion to Close Valhalla School

To begin:
Amidst a gathering of students, teachers and parents from Valhalla school, notice for a motion to close the facility was passed Thursday at Peace Wapiti School Division’s regular meeting of the board.

The school has been under review for possible closure since last month, and the possibility could become reality when the motion hits the table on April 3. (Daily Herald Tribune)
Since the board passed their notice of motion the flurry of information has been breath taking. Many of you have been receiving Jolene's emails, which have kept us all up to date. To think that last time Valhalla fought and won against the school's closure we had to do it all with telephones.

But perhaps there's a broader audience. Rather than leaving them in the dark, other interested stakeholders in neighboring communities have a right to know how the Valhalla School's closure will impact them and their children.

Because thankfully, numbers don't lie.
And the unavoidable reality is this will impact the neighbors' children.
