Board ponders replacing high school with smaller building
Public school board trustees are awaiting a staff report on the prospect of building a new high school in Niagara-on-the-Lake to attract more students. District School Board of Niagara trustees accepted a community recommendation Tuesday night to build a smaller high school with a new name to replace the large, aging Niagara District Secondary School. Now, they await an April 8 report on whether they can afford it. "That's where we'll look at financing and sustainability and demographics," superintendent Linda Kartasinski said. "It'll look a little bit different from the (community) report and that's OK. It's up to the board to weigh the difference." For a year, an accommodation review committee composed of parents, principals and community members has contemplated the fate of the 322-student high school.
