    Oh. This is awkward. I wonder if HDSB will mention that the secondary school PAR that they voted for triggers an elementary school PAR . So it is indeed a good question , exactly WHERE will the young ones go to school? It is worth mentioning that the trustees decision also closed the Pearson daycare after 40 years.
