School boards will likely be changing, and Dan Perrins’ education governance review gives some idea as to how.

Perrins, who was tasked with the review on Nov. 15, puts forward four options for reform — two that focus on redrawing school division boundaries, and two that are based on wide-scale amalgamation.

Education Minister Don Morgan has appointed a six-person panel to consider the report, which was released Wednesday.

“There isn’t a clear recommendation one way or the other,” said Morgan. “We haven’t taken anything off the table at all. We want to look at all options that are there.”

That includes the “possibility” that the status quo number of boards could be maintained.

The most extreme option in Perrins’ report is a single provincial board to cover the province’s 606 public schools. In this model, a CEO would oversee four to six regions.

Each region would have a director of education, superintendents, a financial manager and staff, to supervise and maintain the schools within that region.
