The Thames Valley District School Board Trustees will vote tonight on changing the fate of two Elgin County Elementary Schools. The trustees will vote on Elgin County Trustee Meagan Ruddock’s motion to rescind the 2017 decision to close both New Sarum and Springfield Public Schools in June of 2020.
The initial motions were also contingent on capital funding from the Ministry of Education for a new school in Belmont and one in Southeast St. Thomas.
The vote is the final step in the process for the trustees as they recently heard from parents and local dignitaries at a special meeting and have heard from staff and received business cases on the Belmont and new Southeast St. Thomas School.
