More than 300 cards and counting have been delivered to the Richmond School Board asking it to save William Bridge elementary school from closure. The ‘I Love Bridge’ cards were signed by students and parents and delivered by members of the Parents Advisory Council.
Bridge is one of 16 schools that could close. The board must close schools because the Ministry of Education will not perform seismic upgrades until the school district reaches 95 per cent capacity.
The district will have met committees from all schools by this Monday’s board meeting, where the pending school closures will be discussed; the public is invited. The board will also update the public on a meeting it had with local MLAs.
