Catholic Board transfers ownership of École St. Thomas d’Aquin building
MEDICINE HAT, AB – After closing its doors in June of 2018, the Catholic Board of Education has transferred ownership of the École St. Thomas d’Aquin building to the Prairie Rose School Division (PRSD) on a 10-year period for the sum of $1.
“The motion was made to do that at the March meeting,” explained Catholic Board Chair, Dick Mastel. “We’ve just signed the memorandum of understanding with the PRSD and the deal doesn’t become final until the Minister of Education has signed off on it, as per the Education Act.”
Mastel says that step is merely a technicality, as the Minister is generally quite happy when school-boards can cooperate with one another on the transfer of vacant facilities.
