Rice says the board will review the guidelines in order to determine if anything can be improved in order to keep students and staff as safe as possible, but he says there was no breach of policy in relation to the accident.

A 26-year-old woman and two girls, ages 12 and 13, died as a result of a four-car pileup Dec. 1 in Port Malcolm, about 20 kilometres from Port Hawkesbury, N.S.

The woman was an elementary school teacher who coached volleyball at a school where the two girls were students.
