There is a rumor that the Ottawa Carleton District School Board 
(OCDSB), which is made up of what used to be the OBE (Ottawa) and the 
CBE (Carleton), will be taking the easy way out when deciding what to 
do about Junior Kindergarten. In the current transition year what used to 
be  OBE schools provide JK, the CBE schools do not.

The rumor is that the OCDSB wants to continue providing JK in the 
schools that now offer it (Ottawa), but not in the other schools.

I am wondering if this is really possible. Politically, the trustees can 
probably get away with anything. Even during the teachers� strike only 
two ratepayers showed up to the school board meeting.

But is there something in the law to prevent a public school board from 
providing a service that is not universal?

Leave it to politicians to come up with a half-assed solution.

Either JK is going to be offered by the board (all schools) or it isn't.

Can't those dumpkofts (sp?) make a decision?
