In 2004, the government announced a further amalgamation process. Seventy-one school divisions were amalgamated into twelve new school divisions and two re-structured school divisions, while thirteen other school divisions were not affected.Government of Saskatchewan News Release: "Education Minister Celebrates 10th Anniversary of School Division Amalgamations", February 1, 2016.
