So you're suggesting permanently removing a community's elementary school from that community? Would you advocate the same for your community? Or are you advocating for bulldozing all of Elbow Park?

Yes. Because that is objectively the right choice in this situation. The school is old, has been severely damaged, is on a floodplain, and a school 2km away. The distance between the schools is well under the provincially mandated 2.4km distance for providing out of area bus services.

These schools are close enough that they service the same area.
If this wasn't a rich neighbourhood, the school would be closed already.
As to your first statement this is two rich communities fighting. And the Tories are pandering to a rich constituents. This is much more consideration (temporary gym) than a larger number of displaced students got in High River.
