Study committees in three Quad County communities have responded to reports in the Strait Regional School Board's school review process.

Canso Academy, West Richmond Education Centre in Evanston and Rev. H.J. MacDonald in Heatherton are all under review for possible closure.

Board members tabled the reports at their regular meeting Wednesday night.

Superintendent Jack Beaton tells The Hawk a special meeting will be held to get more information from the committees next week.

"Each of those study committees will come in and do a presentation to the board just to explain in person their reports," he says. "The board will have an opportunity to ask clarifying questions."

Beaton says the next step will be to go out to the individual communities.

"The public has the opportunity to provide comments regarding impact assessment reports, the study committees response and in general the school review process."

He says they'll make final decisions on each school next month.
