History[edit]
Merging and renaming of 2012[edit]
As of September 2012, the Government of New Brunswick decided to merge and rename all the school districts changing the number of districts from 14 to 7.[5] By doing this, the provinces minister of education estimates $5 million would be saved in administrative costs.[6] This was done by merging by language, francophone and anglophone as described below:
- Anglophone West was created by merging districts 14, 17, and 18.
- Anglophone South was created by merging districts 6, 8, and 10.
- Anglophone East was previously known as district 2.
- Anglophone North was created by merging districts 15 and 16.[7]
- Francophone Sud was created by merging districts 1 and 11.
- Francophone Nord-Ouest was previously known as district 3.
