Jeff, this time you have it wrong (“Verona is being betrayed once again”, July 4, 2016). It makes much more sense to leave Harrowsmith Public and Loughborough Public Schools opened. Because Harrowsmith already has St. Patrick's Catholic School, and Sydenham has the high school, busing would be a much easier logistical situation. Also take into consideration the new private school being opened in the old St. Paul's United Church and it is a no-brainer. Sydenham and Harrowsmith are so close to each other and could become a fantastic educational centre.
Retail business should not dictate where schools are located. Verona will get by nicely without the school. Verona needs a seniors’ housing complex because of the premature closing of MacMullen Manor. Capacity alone puts the other two schools in a better light as well as academic achievements by these two schools. A very natural progression to SHS from Harrowsmith and Loughborough. Think of the kids first.
