We are pleased to provide an update regarding the future of McDougall Public School.
With the opening of the new Parry Sound High School in June 2026 and the start of full school operations on September 8, 2026, the Near North District School Board (NNDSB) has started discussions with the Conseil scolaire public du Nord-Est de l’Ontario (CSPNE) regarding the future of the McDougall Public School property.
Details of the agreement are currently being finalized, with the expectation that CSPNE will take possession of the school later this summer, pending necessary approvals required under the Education Act and Regulations. Once the transfer is complete, CSPNE will begin renovations to prepare the building for its new role.
It is anticipated that McDougall Public School will reopen in January 2028 as CSPNE’s new Kindergarten to Grade 12 (K–12) school.
We are very pleased that this facility will continue to serve students and families in our community as a school.
We will continue to keep parents and guardians informed as more information becomes available.
Thank you for your continued support.
