SD 91 announces school closure

School District 91 has voted to close Prairiedale Elementary School as part of a reconfiguration of Vanderhoof schools.

The School District 91 Board of Education announced their decision to close Prairiedale Elementary as part of school reconfigurations in Vanderhoof.

Sinkut View Elementary will remain open as a Kindergarten to Grade 6 school and all Vanderhoof elementary schools will also reconfigure as Kindergarten to Grade 6.

The Grade 7 students will all attend Nechako Valley Secondary School which will then become a Grades 7-12 school.

The EBUS Academy will remain in within the WL MacLeod School but the board said they will be looking for a new home for the academy later on.

Replacement of WL McLeod Elementary will be worked on.

The school board reached the decision at a public meeting on June 17 after the public consultation period had ended.
