As expected, the Near North District School Board trustees have officially decided to keep Widdifield Secondary School and W. J. Fricker open for the 2019/2020 school year.

The motion which was initially adopted in committee last week also calls for graduating Grade 8 students from W.J. Fricker this year to attend Widdifield Secondary School in the fall.

The board says in a release student transitions to E.T. Carmichael and E.W Norman will proceed as usual.
