School District 73 to consult with Barriere parents about possibly moving grade 7 to high school

The Board of Education approved a motion last Monday to explore the possibility of moving grade 7 students from elementary schools to secondary schools starting next school year, following consultation with parents. The option is being explored as a way to provide grade 7 students earlier access to secondary-level programs such as shops, as well as other specialty areas and counselling. The proposal is being considered for students in Chase, Barriere and Clearwater.
