The Keewatin-Patricia District School Board is planning to conduct of review of its elementary schools in the City of Kenora.

Director of Education, Larry Hope says declining enrolment means that a number of schools are being underutilized.

He says the review doesn't necessarily mean the closing of any schools in the city.

Hope says it currently costs the school board about 300 thousand dollars more than it gets from the province in grants to operate the elementary schools in Kenora.

The review is scheduled to be complete by April of 2010.
