Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board (known as English-language Public District School Board No. 14 prior to 1999[3]) is a Canadian public, secular, English-language school board headquartered in Peterborough, Ontario. It extends from the Kawarthas south to Lake Ontario and from the City of Kawartha Lakes and the edge of the City of Oshawa east to Hastings County.[4] In the 2024–2025 school year, it has more than 35,000 students in 89 schools.[2] Jaine Klassen Jeninga is board chair.
Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board, until 1999 English-language Public District School Board No. 14, was formed by the amalgamation of the Peterborough County Board of Education and the Northumberland-Clarington Board of Education.[citation needed]
Schools
As of February2025[update] the district school board has 89 schools: 73 elementary schools, 13 secondary schools with associated intermediate schools, and 3 adult/alternative learning centres.[2] Secondary schools enroll grades 9–12; associated intermediate schools enroll grades 6–8 or 7–8.
To correct imbalances in enrollment, the board is changing some school boundaries in the 2020s.[7][8][9][10] The Pines Senior Public School and Clarke High School in Newcastle are to be replaced with a new K–12 school building on a different site.[11][12] A new school is to open in the Northglen neighborhood of Bowmanville in September 2025.[13][14] The Ontario Ministry of Education has also approved funding for a new elementary school in Millbrook.[12]
Trustees
The board has 13 members: ten elected trustees, one First Nations appointed trustee, and two student trustees.[15] Jaine Klassen Jeninga is board chair.[16]
