14 - The Cana dian Champion, Tuesday, November 23,1999 Trustee Andrew says: Government giving mixed message on sehool closures *from MPP on page 5 incumbent on the board to act on the (EIC) rec- ommendations," said Ms Andrew. 'The policy of closing sehools will be looked at in the very near future, probably in January." She's hoping that the review will help draw a line in the sand for trustees. That means making a firm decision that schools with less than a certain capacity be closed without argument. But the school board isn't the only body 10 blame for the slow-motion activity, said Ms Andrew. "I personally think the govemnment is giving mixed messages," she said. "If they really want schools with excess capacity to close, they should direct that." She also objected to a provincial requirement that ail schools be ai 100 per cent capacity, say- ing it should be lowered to somewhere between 90 t095 per cent. But Mr. Chudleigh said that other Ontario boards have made the tough decisions, and Halton should he able te, as well.
