Shortly after the review committee was formed and they have been meeting monthly with the school board. They advised the school board that Pangman is a growing community with oil in the area, new Water Treatment Plant, Daycare, Community Kitchen, new residents and more.

The South East Cornerstone School Board  have been out to tour our school. The feedback received was that they felt the school is in good condition.

The media has been contacted and Global Regina have aired two stories about Pangman’s school review. Saving Pangman School and a story on Focus Saskatchewan.

There is an important meeting at The South East Cornerstone School Division office in Weyburn on Thursday, January 19, 2012 at 2 pm.
