Fleming, Minister of Education, to SD8 Board of Education relative to New Year January 20, 2020 update Hello Christine, Thank you for holding the meeting last night at Brent Kennedy. I found it to be somewhat informative, but it really did leave the impression that it was a pitch on a pre-determined direction, instead of a meaningful discussion on future options. I have no doubt whatsoever that our teachers and schools have our children’s best interests in mind, and that whatever decision is made, that they will succeed (my son is in grade 8 at Mt. Sentinel and has had nothing but a positive experience). I have a significant concern that I believe was well heard last night, but not really addressed.
