Does the provincial government make decisions regarding school boundaries?
No. These decisions are local decisions and are made by the District • How do we maintain the quality of education in these schools and still remain fiscally responsible? We can leave these schools the way they are and still provide a quality program to the students in both. We would continue to provide the program and choices that we provide to students attending schools of similar size in our District. In the matter under discussion we are able to provide a better program at less cost because of the physical proximity of the two buildings and because they have the same grade configuration (Grade 8 12). This opportunity does not exist with our other secondary schools. • Geographically it makes sense to combine the schools, but have other options for the district been looked at, such as using the buildings during the summer months? No. We have not yet examined the issue of year round schooling. • How much money do you have to save due to declining enrolment? The province has indicated
