Our local Low Down News front page news is all about projected closures of St.Mike's, Wakefield & Chelsea schools. Are we going to be a scattered satellite community in the near future?

Are we going to let our primary aged kids board a bus at 7:30 am to travel to Gatineau returning at 4:30 when the junior & senior high kids finish?

The local schools, like our medical & police services are are an essential string that weaves our rural communities together.

Falling enrollments may be projected. What about smaller, more efficiently run schools with less time and money spent on bussing? What we need is a community forum on what we want for our community & our children.
