The group the Liberals to put a moratorium on closures until the Education Ministry takes another look at Pupil Accommodation Review Guidelines, which were changed in 2015.

"The boards are being forced because with the reduction in the top-up funding and the revised guidelines, they really have no choice but to close schools," says MacKenzie.
