Approve SK Assumption's pro tem board to help school stay open, Penang Education Dept urged


GEORGE TOWN: The Save Assumption School Joint Task Force is hoping that the Penang Education Department will immediately approve the registration of the pro tem board of governors for SK Assumption in Butterworth, in a bid to keep the school open.

In a statement on Sunday (Jan 9), task force spokesman Vernon Fernandez said the pro tem board, which includes representatives from the parent-teacher association, alumni association, the landowner and the Diocese of Penang, was set up last year primarily as a legal platform to solve the issue of the school and its premises.
