Parents wishing to enrol their children in French immersion currently have two entry points – in Grade 3 or Grade 6.
The task force will hold public hearings across the province from Nov. 1 to Dec. 14 to hear from parents about whether the current entry points should be changed in time for the 2012 school year.
Parents will also be able to give their input online next month.
The task force will submit its findings and recommendations to the province early next year.
