Orleans Wood – Terry Fox Elementary School - Grade and Attendance Boundary Review
On June 22nd, 2009, the Board approved the timelines and consultation plan for the grade configuration and boundary review involving Orleans Wood Elementary School and Terry Fox Elementary School for implementation in September 2010.
The accommodation review is necessary to address declining enrolment and its impact upon program viability. As the scope of the study encompasses 2 elementary schools, it is quite likely that potential solutions will involve the relocation of grades and/or programs between the 2 schools.
A community open house meeting is scheduled to take place in mid October 2009 to obtain public feedback on potential accommodation solutions.
The Board will make final decisions in November 2009, for implementation in September 2010.
