At the Regular Meeting of the Board on Nov. 22, 2016, Peel District School Board trustees approved a Pupil Accommodation Review (PAR) for Alloa, Alton, Belfountain, Caledon Central, and Credit View public schools. Due to low utilization and enrolment rates at some of the affected schools, the Board of Trustees approved a modified PAR process, which takes approximately four months to complete.
Initial Staff Report:
Peel board staff began the PAR process by presenting the
Initial Staff Report to trustees on Dec. 12, 2016. The report recommended closing Credit View Public School and relocating students to available space at Belfountain and Caledon Central Public Schools, effective September 2018 (or earlier, if staffing timelines permit). Redirection of students to Alloa P.S. and a
boundary change between Alton and Belfountain Public Schools was also recommended to better geographically align the boundaries between the schools.
Community Consultation:
Community consultation is an important part of the PAR process. The Peel board's PAR policy requires that we hold one public meeting as part of the modified PAR process where families and members of the public will have the opportunity for genuine input and discussion. A public meeting took place on Feb. 6, 2017 at Belfountain Public School. Families of affected schools were invited via letter and synrevoice message. All input was taken into consideration and helped to shape revised recommendations in the Final Staff Report.
Final Staff Report:
At the Regular Meeting of the Board on Feb. 28, 2017, Peel board staff presented the Final Staff Report to trustees for receipt only. Trustees will take these recommendations and public feedback into consideration before making their final decision on April 12, 2017. Subscribe for updates
