Catholic School Board Expects Small Enrolment Increase

Student numbers are expected to grow slightly once again at the Kenora Catholic District School Board this coming fall.

Director of Education Phylis Eikre says last year they saw a jump at the kindergarten level when they introduced all-day classes at Pope John Paul School.

Eikre says the good new this year is the provincial government will actually start getting partial funding for their all-day kindergarten classes this fall.

Last year the Catholic School Board had to dip into its reserves to help pay for its all-day kindergarten programs.
