A meeting will be held at 7 p.m. tonight to talk about the future of East Pictou Middle School.

Specifically they’ll be talking about what the impact would be if the school was to close.

The school has been one of the ones selected for review by the Chignecto Central Regional School Board.

A committee is gathering information to report back to board on the impact.

Debbie Buott Matheson, CCRSB spokesperson said by the end of the month the report will be filed by the end of this month.

She said the important thing to remember is that even if the board decides that East Pictou could be closed, it wouldn’t happen right away. She said it’d be more like five years between a review process and actual closure.

“There’s no decision that’s been made yet,” she said. “It’s not an easy process.”

    I understand it is very unpopular, but if it's a question of whether to close schools, or cut staff, the answer should always be closing down schools.

    To Debbie Buott Matheson, CCRSB spokesperson.. I understand you are the messenger but you know as well as everyone else in the school board that this meeting is just a formality. The decision is/has been made and nothing anyone has to say tonight will change that. Just be honest !!!
