The chair of the Distict 8 Education Council is optimistic about Jody Carr being the new Education Minister.
Rob Fowler tells CHSJ News the DEC met with the Conservative caucus when they were formulating their education plank.
He admits District 8 has some homework to do in terms of getting its priorities clear for a previously planned Minister's meeting and he is requesting a meeting with the new Wellness, Culture and Sport Minister Trevor Holder and the Saint John Conservative caucus.
Aging schools and the higher number of special needs students in Saint John as compared to other school districts are two pressing issues mentioned prior to the provincial election.
