Unfortunately it is a sign of the times,a dwindling rural population,farms growing larger,small town industry fading..same problem in southern Ontario,too many rural schools with to low a student count..and these rural schools were all built around 1964-1970,so they are at their end as a public building,they need more repairs,they are harder to heat and simply don't meet today's standards,the small towns don't want to lose their school,yet economically they can't afford them,if they were to be kept their school taxes would be unaffordable,plain and simple. Here we have closed four schools around me,moved all grade 7 and 8 to the high school,and utilized the biggest school buildings for the present,but plan to build a new "super School" at one of the old locations that will serve what four central schools used to serve.I understand that no one wants to lose their school.there is a sense of community and an attachment,yet we have to let go of them..we once thought the same thing when our one room schools were closed.
