Chapel Island Forms School Board and Opens CAP Site
March 1st, 2000
Under the framework of Native control of education, Chapel Island First Nation has established the Potlotek School Board. The elected board, formed within the guidelines established in consultation with Mi’kmaw Kina’matnewey, is politically independent from the Band Council and will focus on delivering quality educational opportunities to the children.
The new Community Access Program (CAP) site will allow residents to drop in and use the internet and computers for research, school papers, and life long learning opportunities. It will be open seven days a week.
The CAP site and school board offices are both located in the newly renovated old Mi’kmawey school.
