The Keewatin-Patricia District School Board is close to signing a 10-year lease agreement with Seven Generations for the new site for the Board Office in Kenora.The new office would be more visible and central at the former Lakewood School.
Director of Education Sean Monteith says there are a number of reasons behind the move.
The new lease agreement is pegged around 200-thousand dollars a year, but renovations are expected to be factored into the price.
Monteith says there will be no provincial funding for the move.
