Marina Halligan wants to keep walking her daughter to earl grey school but worries about talks of a school swap.

Winnipeg School Division's idea of moving students into another building would only mean adding an extra couple of blocks, but that's not the point.

“It's not just a school, it's the community club, daycares, lunch program,” said Halligan.

The problem affecting this community is that another school has become so popular the building is overcrowded.

Ecole La Verendrye runs entirely in French, and is the only school in the South to do so, so students can’t just attend another school.

Ecole La Verendrye has 360 students in a school that fits 300.

Earl Grey School has 210 students in a school that fits 600.

But members of earl grey's Parent Advisory Committee say Winnipeg School Division trustees need to know more than that before considering the swap.

“There's no classroom that isn't being utilized throughout the day at some point,” said Cynthia Wiebe, member of the Parent Advisory Council for Earl Grey School.

That’s why the Parent Advisory Committee have invited trustees to a meeting at the school scheduled for tonight.

Another concern they plan to discuss is that La Verendrye isn't set up to accommodate Earl Grey's junior high students.

Winnipeg School Division's chair, Mark Wasyliw says there's no easy solution.

“If we dislocate children then we're going to be disappointing some families. We can't maintain things the way they are, now whether we need Earl Grey has to be part of the solution, that's to be determined,” said Wasyliw.

School trustees are considering a number of options. One of them includes re-opening Sir William Osler School and moving some of the La Verendrye students there.

Parents of Earl Grey students hope school trustees will put more stock into options like this after meeting to explain why their school should be saved.

Scott Miner, who’s kids attended the school and grandson now attends said, “Our children's artwork is built into the wall of this place. We fundraised for an outdoor classroom which just got completed in the fall. Why does all of that have to go away, when you just have to turn on the lights in another building?”

Winnipeg School Division plans to meet with those who would be affected by any of the options they are considering in the next few months before deciding a solution in May to take affect at the begin of the 2015-16 school year.
