 Elections for Regina's public school board will be held Oct. 28, 2009.
RealRenewal, a coalition of parents and community members, has been
using the election campaign period as a time to encourage public
debate on the 10-year school closure plan. We also hope to raise public
awareness about current resesarch on the value of retaining and
enhancing neighbourhood schools.
RealRenewal first met in December
2007 in response to the Regina Public School Board’s 10-Year Renewal
Plan to close 14 inner city schools, placing nearly half of elementary
students on buses. Since that time, we have worked to promote greater
public awareness about the educational, social and economic advantages
of small-school education, and about the role schools should play in
building healthy, sustainable communities of the future. Please visit our web site at www.realrenewal.org to learn more, and to check out some of the candidates.
