Amidst a gathering of students, teachers and parents from Valhalla school, notice for a motion to close the facility was passed Thursday at Peace Wapiti School Division’s regular meeting of the board.
The Peace Wapiti School board has been trying to close down Valhalla for years. In this "new" attack they are basically making the same mistake they have made before. The main mistake is that the surrounding schools are at capacity, or over, but that doesn't stop them. This is just another attempt in a long line, no matter how many times the school board tries to close Valhalla down and fails at the attempt they never seem to learn. Maybe if we win this time they will leave us alone but somehow I get the idea that is wishful thinking.

If surrounding schools were at capacity then Valhalla must be a school of necessity. I understand it is NOT a school of necessity, therefore your statement is totally incorrect.
Actually the surrounding schools are at capacity and the Valhalla School should be a small school by necessity except for a government regulation that does not count the 130 First Nations students in the formula for small schools by necessity. In fact, two different members of the department of education have told members of our community that if there's no room for the Valhalla students then the First Nations students will have to be bussed somewhere else. Never mind the fact that they don't want to be moved and there's nowhere else to send them anyway.
