Some Lethbridge students will have to change their schools beginning next year. The Lethbridge School Board spent the past two years rezoning catchment areas for schools and communities, mainly because some of our schools are overcrowded. As Jeannette Rocher reports, a motion for the amended boundaries was passed at the school board meeting last night…but it’s leaving some parents unhappy.
