Declining Enrolment Impacts Central Park Riverside Schools
Medicine Hat's School District No. 76 weighs closures for Central Park and Riverside as enrolment trends forecast a deficit. The SSE Consulting study proposes moving kindergarten to grade four to Connaught to boost English program enrolment and create space in larger schools, while Riverside could shift students to Webster Niblock or Vincent Massey. Trustees plan further study and public consultation before any decisions, with potential actions targeted for next spring.
