A little-known education policy is preventing an 11-year-old Sussex girl from attending school in her own community. Policy 321 says French-speaking students shall not be admitted to French immersion programs within the English school system. The new arrival from Quebec had hoped to ease her unilingual francophone daughter, Hayden Thibeault, into the overwhelmingly anglophone community through the French immersion program. Boulianne's daughter, Hayden Thibeault, will have to travel to Saint John every day to school. "I don't know who it is going to harm to have her in French immersion in Sussex," she said.
