WEYBURN - The South East Cornerstone Public School Division's board has unanimously approved the elimination of Grade 9 classes for Lyndale School in Oungre.
The school now becomes a kindergarten to Grade 8 facility for the start of the 2023-24 school year.
It was noted by the board members that this request came from the school and its school community council, based on the knowledge that Grade 9 classes had gone unfilled at the school for the past couple of years.
The division said those students preferred to attend Grade 9 classes in either Estevan or Weyburn instead to increase their exposure to a more diverse selection of programs and classes.
