DESC rejects recommendation of independent report
The former education minister says she would have supported a recommendation to close eight Manx primary schools.
It's after a review into the current funding system for education on the Island said the move could save £3.6 million.
The Department of Education, Sport and Culture says it does not support that recommendation.
But Julie Edge says she would have been prepared to make tough decisions when she was in charge:
Firework sets cliffside ablaze
Douglas crews tackle Marine Drive grass fire
Reducing school bus pass times will have 'huge impact on a small number of students'
MHK questions decision to bring deadline forward by an hour
Men under 25 responsible for 'large proportion' of deaths and serious injuries on Island roads
Chief constable tasked with reducing that number
Annual charge for video doorbell registration a topic for Keys
Only seven people on the Island need to register their surveillance equipment
