There could be an adjustment to the attendance boundaries for two groups of schools in the division.
The Carrot River boundary could see a small shift west, while the Gronlid boundary could shift slightly east to add a few quarter sections in the Ratner district.
Don Rempel, the division's director of education, said after the March 21 board meeting the shift will affect around a half-dozen families in the Carrot River region, which will be going there instead of Nipawin, while the Gronlid change will make it so a family can go to Gronlid for Kindergarten to Grade 8 and Tisdale for Grade 9 to 12.
The director of education said the changes will be advertised in local newspapers and the public would have a chance to talk to the board about any issues they might have with the change.
“It’s just doing our due diligence, that we don’t change a line without the public being aware of it.”
Gronlid sticking with calendar
Gronlid Central School will be sticking with the regular school calendar next year when it becomes an elementary-focused school instead of going with an alternative calendar that will have longer days but shorter years.
“It was a choice left up to the community,” said Luke Perkins, the division’s chair.
White Fox School is the only one that uses such an alternative calendar within the division.
