Dear David:

Don Fleming, Edmonton Public School Board Chairman has it right in today's Letters Page. Parents asked the School Administration to provide free & unfettered access to all schools. Now with enrolments naturally declining in some older areas, the School Board is getting the blame IV acceding to a demand by parents. Its just like the School Closure issue, Trustees are damned if they do & damned if they do not. We need more consolidation & joint use of facility's with other systems II save money.

Exploring New Options,

Rory
