The Greater Essex County District School Board is going forward with its application to host a primary International Baccalaureate Program.
Administration had recommended Margaret D. Bennie Public School in Leamington and Glenwood Public School in Windsor for the program at their last meeting, but trustees voted to defer the plan due to concerns over how the two schools were picked.
A committee of nine members including superintendents, principals, teachers and administration made the selections, but the board wanted more information - and that enquiry was satisfied Tuesday night.
The IBP is a worldwide academic program providing enhanced educational opportunities that eventually provide enhanced applications and standing at the university level.
Candidate schools must be submitted to the International Baccalaureate Education Foundation by April 1 with a goal of beginning their programs in September 2019.
The public school board currently has secondary school IBP's at Riverside and Leamington high schools.
