Charges against one man have been withdrawn and the others will be in court this week.

New school

The local District Education Council has approved the initial specifications for a new school in the north end of Moncton, according to the Times and Transcript. Where it will go wasn’t revealed…that’ll be up to provincial politicians.

The new middle school will house about 700 students. Grades six to to eight students from Northrop Frye and Evergreen Park school will be moved there while those schools will become strictly elementaries.
