Unfortunately it is a sign of the times,a dwindling rural population,farms growing larger,small town industry fading..same problem in southern Ontario,too many rural schools with to low a student count..and these rural schools were all built around 1964-1970,so they are at their end as a public building,they need more repairs,they are harder to heat and simply don't meet today's standards,the small towns don't want to lose their school,yet economically they can't afford them,if they were to be kept their school taxes would be unaffordable,plain and simple.
