Evergreen School Meeting

The Keewatin-Patricia District School Board is being asked for an extensionfrom a committee set up to look at school closures in Kenora.

The Kenora Accommodation Review Advisory Committee was supposed topresent its final recommendations to the public school board on April 13th.

One of the recommendations was the closure of Evergreen School, butchair of the committee Cecile Marcino says that scenario is still a longways off.

The draft recommendations of the committee suggest the closure ofEvergreen, only if the public school board can form a partnership withthe Cathlolic School Board for the operation of schools in Keewatin,and if the public board can get funding to build a new school at Evergreen.

Marcino says they hope to present their final recommendations to the boardat the May open meeting.
