TRURO, N.S. – A suggestion from Nova Scotia’s Chignecto-Central Regional School Board’s hub proposal evaluation committee is not good news for local schools fighting to stay open.

During a meeting Wednesday, board superintendent Gary Clarke read a report from the evaluation committee recommending the closure of Maitland district, Wentworth consolidated and River John consolidated schools at the end of this month.

An official vote will take place next Wednesday at the school board meeting at Truro elementary school.

The evaluation committee says one reason it recommended closure was because the school board would’ve been responsible for all the school’s costs next year.
