It isn’t over yet friends.
The 14 members of the Program Accommodation Review Committee (PARC) decided last night that they wanted on more kick at the can – and while the Chair, HDSB superintendent Scott Podrebarac wasn’t excited about the idea – it became evident that there were enough people who wanted to meet again to talk about innovation and how the Board of Education might look at different options when it comes to closing schools.
The PAR members deliberating with the public watching and listening.
As well, it had become clear that the original time table could not be met. So everything got bumped back by about as much as a month.
