Question Mark Hanging Over Promised Francophone School

If or when a french elementary school is built in the Kennebecasis Valley, it will need enough room for at least 342 students.
That determination has been made by a school development planning committee. Before the election in September, Finance Minister Blaine Higgs voiced support for the school.
The President of Parents for a Francophone school in the Valley, Marc Mathurin says he has no idea where things stand at the moment.
With all the talk about decisive action being promised on the provincial budget, Mathurin concedes some people are worried about the prospects but he adds the need is there.
