Coffin, who did not vote in favor of the board's decision, said the placement placement for out-of-boundary students is reviewed on a yearly basis and the new school cannot accommodate accommodate students from beyond the school's boundaries. Therefore, they must return to their neighbourhood neighbourhood schools. Bob Willsher, also a trustee with the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board, said the problem stems from over-crowding among the schools. "It's an out-cropping of a problem problem the board is going to continue to have as long as we have too many kids and not enough schools," he said.
