The ratepayers of Ecole Ste. Marie have been "very positive" said the area's trustee Dave Durand. At a closed meeting March 6, some board representatives met with the ratepayers. "We presented the facts and ex- plained all the possibilities." said Mr. Durand. The big reason for closing the school is the four -classroom building faces major repairs. There are currently 52 grade one to eight students at Ecole Ste. Marie. Kindergarten students go the five miles to St. Boniface School in Zurich. The board's plans involve sending the eight students from Ecole Ste. Marie who will be in grades seven and eight this fall to St. Boniface. For the 1985-86 school year, St. Boniface and Ecole Ste. Marie will share a principal. Ste. Marie's principal Lillian LaPorte has already been hired as a French Immersion teacher while the board is in the process of hiring a principal for St. Boniface. Trustee Dave Durand said the on- ly stipulations set by the parents are that their children have permanent accommodation - not portables and that French be taught from grade one one. In recognition of the French heritage in the area, the school has been teaching French from grade one on at Ecole Ste. Marie only. The school was built in 1961.
