KPDSB School Closures

After months of meeting a committee set up to look the future of elementary schools in Kenora has compiled its final report.

The Accommodation Review Advisory Committee says it doesn't expect any school closures in the public system for four or five years.

Cecile Marcino is chair of the board and says the one recommendation that could be implemented quickly is the move of the school board offices into Lakewood School.

The report will go to the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board next month, but final decisions on the fate of local elementaryschools won't be made until the fall.
