Trustee Redistribution Accepted

There will be different look to the Northwest Catholic District School Board this fall.

Trustees voted Tuesday night in favour of moving one of three seats designated to Fort Frances to Sioux Lookout.

Board Chair, and Fort Frances trustee Anne-Marie Fitzgerald says it reflects changes in population, but won't impact the decision making at the table.

"It really shouldn't have any affect," says Fitzgerald, "because we do try to base our decisions not by area but whats best for the board as a whole."

An extra seat given to reflect the amalgamation of the former Atikokan Roman Catholic District School Board will be designated to Atikokan.

Seats assigned to Stratton and Dryden remain unchanged.
