While there is some ambiguity, all scenarios would or could potentially force the Creighton School Division (CSD) to merge with another division. “We’re still lobbying to stay alone, but whether we’ll succeed or not I have no idea,” said Raymond Biberdorf, chairman of the CSD board of trustees. “We’re in a little corner here all by ourselves, so I just can’t see [a merger] happening, but we don’t have the final say.” While the new report aims to find efficiencies in the system, Biberdorf sees no savings attached to dissolving CSD. He said Northern Lights School Division, the division that is geographically closest to Creighton, is based four hours away in La Ronge.
2020 started with such hope, such promise, such excitement.
Only a few months prior I had decided to make my passion for music a priority. Besides my job as an educator, I began writing and performing my own songs, building a social media presence to share my music and was in the midst of recording and creating my first EP of roots/folk originals. I was travelling to perform. Then COVID-19 moved into our borders.
Within the course of a few weeks our world became as small as the walls we live in and our social group was the people living in our homes. As a parent with shared custody, half my time was spent alone for most of the spring.
