The petition will be presented in the Legislature in February.

“(MLA) Linda Larson is going around the province talking about rural education funding, but (the provincial government) is not announcing anything permanent,” she explained. “I’m just trying to put pressure on them to properly fund the schools to keep them open permanently.”
