The volume of support has secured us a formal meeting with the school board to discuss the relocation plan. Our legal team is currently drafting the list of technical concerns we intend to present during that session.

My main concern is bullying and exposure to teen behaviours such as smoking, vaping, making out etc. for kids who are not ready for this yet.
Doesn’t make sense. These kids will be bullied for their size and lack of understanding. Keep seven and eight with the smaller grades and they have a chance to grow into leadership before high school.
No, just no.
This seems so rushed and not in the best interest of our children, especially the ones in grade 6 & 7 now!

This is the easiest way for the Board to solve a problem but the one that has the most negative impacts on the kids.

There has to be way to contain numbers, like creating a French stream for milbrook/Cavan to reduce pressure. There are simpler options available that need to be looked at.
