UPDATE: Lakefield District Secondary School Is Closing

UPDATE (March 30th): The board decided last night to close Lakefield District Secondary School. LDISS will consolidate with TASSS in Peterborough beginning in September 2016. Give us your thoughts on its closure on our Facebook page, and what impact you think it will have on students and this small rural community.

LDISS to close. KPR trustees supported the motion to consolidate LDISS and TASS and move Ridpath to the highschool property.

The future of Lakefield District Secondary School is up in the air due to declining enrolment numbers.

Accommodation reviews have been undertaken by Kawartha Pine Ridge DSB, and a final decision is expected Tuesday night (March 29th) at a public school board meeting at the KPR board office on Fisher Drive.

If the school closes, students will attend Thomas A. Stewart Secondary School in Peterborough.

If you can't make the meeting—it starts at 7 p.m.—but want to follow along, it will be live streamed here.
