Parents who are pressing their case to have a francophone elementary school built in the Kennebecasis Valley have new numbers to bolster their case.
A school development planning committee has determined such a school would need enough space for at least 342 students.
Plenty of support was voiced before the provincial election including from Blaine Higgs, the M-L-A for Quispamsis who was appointed Finance Minister but now there's only talk of cutbacks.
Marc Mathurin, President of Parents for a Francophone School in the Valley, tells CHSJ News they have been trying to set up a meeting with the new Education Minister Jody Carr to no avail so far.
Mathurin points out the K-V is the largest region in the province without a francophone school.
