Public School Board Plans for Closer Relationship with Con College

The Keewatin-Patricia District School Board says it plans to work more closely
with Confederation College in the future.

The board says there are opportunities, such as the potential construction of a new high school in Sioux Lookout, where they might be able to partner with the college.

Director of Education Sean Monteith says the partnership could include leasing classrooms at some of their more under-utilized schools.

Monteith says they've talked about leasing classroom space at their schools in Pickle Lake and Ignace,
which not only benefits the college, but potentially opens up more course opportunities for high school
students.
