*************************
The Algoma District School Board (ADSB), Conseil scolaire catholique du Nouvel- Ontario (CSCNO), Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board (HSCDSB), and Conseil scolaire public du Grand Nord de l’Ontario (CSPGNO) have approved the School Year Calendar for 2014-2015.

For many years, the four school boards have worked together to produce a common calendar, facilitating the co-ordination of services such as student transportation.

Each board adopted the calendar following its own consultation process.

The calendar will now be submitted to the Ministry of Education for final approval.

Marie, Spanish, Wawa and White River.

Except for minor changes, the calendar will also apply to CSCNO and CSPGNO schools in Greater Sudbury and Sudbury East.
