Oakburn school closure sparks debate on costs and impact
Oakburn faces possible closure with projections showing 19 students, then 16.5 and 13 in successive years. Kowal says savings to ratepayers could reach 80,000 to 100,000 annually, but Desilets warns higher pupil teacher ratios and staff protests if Oakburn students move to Rossburn. He accuses the board of lip service in consultation and cites years of uneven negotiation.
