Catholic School Board Enrolment

Not a big change in the student population at the Kenora Catholic DistrictSchool Board this year.

Enrolment in the Kenora schools decreased by just one student, to 1,379 compared to 1,380 last year.

Director of Education, Phylis Aikre says the good news is that their funding should remain stable from the Ministry of Education, as a result.

The only big change for the separate school board is the addition of St. John's Catholic School in
Red Lake.

The merger was announced by the provincial government this past spring and adds another
114 students to the separate school system.
