Six rural schools could be on chopping block
Six towns east of Prince Albert could be losing their schools next year.
The North East School Division (NESD) has six schools up for review – Arborfield School, Bjorkdale School, Zenon Park School, Star City School, Gronlid School and White Fox School.
There are five criteria the Ministry of Education has that resulted in a review, said Don Rempel, NESD director of education.
They include school enrolment, projection of triple grading, projected enrolment of having only one student in a grade, projected enrolment of having more than triple grading and the structural integrity of the school, he said.
