School's prospects dim

The struggling Plains Indian Cultural Survival School has managed to keeps its doors open for another year, but staff and students are facing an uncertain future.
"Next year does not look promising," said school principal Jerry Arshinoff.
Of the urban high school's 429 students, 305 are adults, most of them 20 to 23 years old. Calgary school board trustees voted to cut funding in 1993 for all over-age students not covered by adult education grants. That would mean refusing an education to about three-quarters of the students, Arshinoff said.
