The Manitoba government announced plans Monday to eliminate almost all elected school boards across the province (including the Flin Flon School Division board) and to amalgamate the FFSD with three other northern divisions. The changes are part of the provincial government’s Kindergarten-Grade 12 education review and Bill 64, the proposed “Education Modernization Act”, which was publicly released March 15. The report was formally completed last March, but its release was delayed for a full year due to COVID-19. The act was introduced in Manitoba’s legislature back in November, but the contents of the act were not made public, even to MLAs, until March 15.
