Nunavut Francophone school board will meet with parents

Nunavut's Francophone school board has agreed to meet with parents who are upset with how École des Trois-Soleils is being run.

Parents of École des Trois Soleil are demanding the resignation of the board's directors

Nunavut's Francophone school board says it will meet with a group of parents who are unhappy with issues at Iqaluit's French-language school, École des Trois-Soleils.

Earlier this month, more than a hundred parents signed a petition with 114 signatures demanding the resignation of the board's directors. 

The petition was sent to the school board, so far the board has not commented about the document.

The parents are not happy with how the school is being run, including changes to teaching assignments.

In an email to the parents, the board's executive director Réjane Vaillancourt, acknowledges she has received their letter demanding a special meeting and agrees to meet with them. 

The board has not yet set a date for the meeting.
