Changes are coming to the Fort Livingstone School in Pelly. The members of the Good Spirit School Division board accepted the recommendation of the FLS School Community Council, and will be discontinuing grades 9-12 at the school effective at the 2015-16 school year. Students in those grades will be integrated into the Norquay School population.
By accepting the FLS SCC’s recommendation, that means that the school is now out of the review process, which looks at whether there will be grade discontinuation or school closure. As part of the recommendation, the school will not be reviewed for up to three years, provided that the K-8 population does not go below forty students.
“The School Community Council put in a lot of thought and consideration to the future of their school in Pelly,” states Lois Smandych, Board Chair. “We sincerely appreciate their efforts in working with staff, parents and community members to discuss options as part of the school review process.”
