Mulgrave Memorial Education Centre to close in June 2018
Tamarac Education Centre in Port Hawkesbury will be the receiving school for students affected by the closure
Mulgrave Memorial Education Centre, a Grade Primary to Grade 8 school located in Guysborough County, is set to close permanently on June 30, 2018.
The decision was made at the Strait Regional School Board meeting Wednesday evening.
Tamarac Education Centre in Port Hawkesbury will be the school where students affected by the closure are sent.
The school board also decided that Mulgrave Memorial Education Centre will serve only grades Primary to 6 starting in September 2016. Once the school closes in 2018, all of the Grade Primary to Grade 6 students will go to Tamarac Education Centre.
Mulgrave Memorial Education Centre's website says there are 62 students enrolled at the school right now. The site also says there are 5.5 teaching positions, a half-time librarian, a secretary and two janitorial staff.
