On a previous suggestion a few years ago by the then school board, the closing of Alderney School was taken off the table as a result of the intervention of the local MLA and with the support of the governing John Hamm Tories and Education Minister Jane Purves.
What has changed from those sound arguments that now places this issue back on the table and what local political action can we expect that will maintain the integrity and need for this vital community school?

We reap what we sow, lets see what comes out of this discussion this time.
