The establishment of a community hub school will be discussed at a public meeting this Tuesday in Regina. Residents of the River Heights neighbourhood have teamed up with University of Regina researcher Dianna Graves to explore a proposal to establish a community hub school. Residents decided to take action after the public school board ordered the closure of Athabasca School effective June 24. The school-aged population in the surrounding neighbourhood is projected to increase dramatically over the next three years. A community hub school is directed by the community and typically includes a variety of integrated services, including daycare, adult education and community programming. The meeting will be Tuesday, June 14 from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30, with pizza provided. For background information, visit www.realrenewal.org
