IMPORTANT COMMUNITY MEETING

December 6, 2009


The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) has begun Accommodation Review of many schools in downtown Toronto. In the area defined by Lauder Ave to the west, Eglinton Ave. to the north and St Clair to the south and Bathurst at the west boundary there are 5 community schools under review. There are approximately 56 schools in the TDSB currently involved in the review process.

Parent and community representatives, superintendents, principals and students who form the committe will review data from Arlington Middle School, Cedarvale Community School, Humewood Community School, JR Wilcox Community School and Rawlinson Community School and in the spring will report their recommendations to the Director of Education and the TDSB.

The review may result in a number of scenarios, including the closing of a school/schools, expansion of one or more schools, changing of grades offered, changing of school boundaries or moving programs into or out of a school. These changes will have a significant impact on our community, and possibly our property values.

It is important to understand exactly how the review works, who has a vote and how are recommendations formed and what happens next and attending this meeting will help you be informed and give you an opportunity to express your views.


The first public information meeting is on this Wednesday December 9, 2009 at Oakwood Collegiate Institute (991 St Clair Ave. West, in the auditorium 7-9pm).

Please make every effort to attend and please bring a neighbour with you.

Claire Rodger, Community Representative, ARC, SW3
