Local students will start and end the 2021-2022 school year early.
Results from the online survey show 74 per cent voted for calendar option one, which will students starting school on September 1 2021 and ending on June 24 2022.
There will be two PD days at the end of August before the first day of school.
Overall, there were 3, 703 responses to the survey, with 59 percent identifying as parents, 28 percent staff, 9 percent were students and 4 percent identified as community or other.
The draft school year calendar will now be submitted to the Ministry of Education for approval.
The Rainy River District School Board approved the draft schedule last week and all the school boards in northwestern Ontario including the Kenora Catholic District School Board, have to approve the calendar before it can be adopted.
The school boards, in some communities, share school buses, so the calendar has to be the same.
