The Kawartha-Pine Ridge School Board is considering e-learning as a way of dealing with reduced provincial funding for education because of declining enrolment..
Board chairperson Diane Lloyd told last night’s board meeting a teacher in one location could teach students at another school by having them log on to a computer.
The board’s secondary student enrolment increased by 398 students over the last four years, but the number of elementary students is down by almost 32-hundred.
Lloyd said e-learning wold allow students to continue taking certain courses despite declining enrolment.
