Halton District School Board Administrative Procedure

Topic: Asbestos Management in Board Facilities

Effective: January 2016

Cross-References: Asbestos Management Plan (AMP); Individual Asbestos Register for each building; Occupational Health and Safety Act, Designated Substance – Asbestos on Construction Projects and in Buildings and Repair Operations, O.Reg. 278/05

Revision Date: January 2019

Review Date: January 2021

Responsibility: Superintendent of Facility Services

INTENDED PURPOSE: The Halton District School Board (HDSB) requires an Asbestos Management Program to maintain safe and healthy operation of facilities. The Asbestos Management Program will include an Asbestos Register at each facility owned by the Board where asbestos-containing materials (ACM) have been identified. In addition, the Board will maintain an Asbestos Management Plan that details the procedure, expectations, roles and responsibilities regarding maintaining and updating the asbestos register, periodic inspections, providing notification to workers and building occupants, training and management of construction and maintenance activities.

The HDSB Asbestos Management Program is set out in this Administrative Procedure (AP) – Asbestos Management in Facilities and in the Asbestos Management Plan (AMP), which supplements the Administrative Procedure.

The objectives of the Asbestos Management Program are as follows: ● to provide a safe and healthy operation of facilities that have asbestos-containing materials in the

building; ● to comply with the requirements prescribed under O.Reg. 278/05 – Designated Substance – Asbestos

on Construction Project and in Buildings and Repair Operations made under the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act; and

● to achieve compliance with this Program by all employees and contracted personnel.

The basic elements of the Asbestos Management Program include the following: ● maintaining and updating the Asbestos Register for all buildings, built prior to the mid-1980’s, where

asbestos-containing materials have been identified in the building; ● periodic inspections of asbestos-containing materials (ACM); ● written notification to workers, occupiers and employers of the information in the Asbestos Register; ● information and instruction; and ● management of construction projects and maintenance activities.

The AMP identifies the role and responsibilities of various personnel that both work in the building and undertake facility-related work in the building, procedures regarding maintenance and updating of the Asbestos Register, including inventory and reassessment management, as well as repair and maintenance procedures, asbestos work classifications, training and education.

The Asbestos Management Plan can be found on the HDSB website, on the Facility Services web page. In addition, a digital copy of the Asbestos Register (survey) for each applicable school is also available under the Facility Services department web page.

The Asbestos Register will include the following: 1. Asbestos Survey Plan 2. Asbestos Inventory 3. A copy of the AMP

Page 13: PUBLIC SESSION AGENDA - Halton District School Board Agendas and Minutes/BdAgen… · 1 HALTON DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD Meeting will be livestreamed from J.W. Singleton Education Centre,

Halton District School Board Administrative Procedure

The detailed procedures set out in the Asbestos Management Plan (AMP) must be followed to reduce the health risk of asbestos exposure to staff, students and other occupants of the building.

PROCEDURES

1. Overall Expectations: a. All schools and facilities that have been identified with asbestos-containing materials shall have a

copy of the Asbestos Register and the Asbestos Management Plan in the school office; b. The Manager, Facility Maintenance and Renewal is responsible for maintaining and updating the

Halton District School Board Administrative Procedure

Topic: Optional Attendance – Secondary Schools

Effective: October 2011

Revision Date: October 2012, 2014, 2015; September 2018

Review Date: September 2022

Responsibility: Superintendent of Education (Respective Family of Schools)

INTENT STATEMENT: All Halton District School Board schools are able to effectively support students’ academic and well-being needs. As such, students are encouraged to attend their designated home school. However, the Board, provides an opportunity for students who are residents in the Halton region to apply for enrolment in a Halton school outside their regular school attendance area in schools where there are sufficient pupil spaces to accommodate them. This is referred to as optional attendance. The process for application for optional attendance in Halton Secondary Schools is outlined in this procedure.

Secondary Optional Attendance has two distinct processes:

1. Grade 8 into 9 2. Grades 10, 11, 12

1. APPLICATION FOR OPTIONAL ATTENDANCE – Gr. 8 into 9 There is a specific application form required for Grade 8 to Grade 9 optional attendance. Applicants are expected to meet with their home school principal to discuss their reasons for requesting optional attendance, as well as review the programs offered at the home secondary school.

The approval of applications is dependent on the following: school is designated as an Open School; availability of pupil spaces and class size guidelines; no need to hire additional staff or increase instructional resources; no additional costs to the Board.

Please note the following exceptions: Siblings of students admitted to specialized programs (i.e. ESL or Special Education) in other

schools, must apply for optional attendance if desired. The application must be completed and processed appropriately.

Requests for regional programs in a region other than one’s own are considered optional attendance requests.

Special Education placements do not fall within the parameters of optional attendance.

Students granted optional attendance are not eligible for board transportation.

Generally, decisions will be forwarded to applicants by the first week of March; however, some decisions may be held pending confirmed enrolments.

PROCEDURE: Grade 8 into Grade 9 1) In October of each year, Administrative Council will review preliminary enrolment projections, and

subsequently identify the status of schools with respect to optional attendance for the following school year. An Open to Optional Attendance List will be posted on the Board website and communicated to all schools. Schools will fall into one of two different categories, depending on the relationship between capacity and enrolment:

a) Open Schools: The school has space available and may accept applications for consideration for optional attendance.

Page 15: PUBLIC SESSION AGENDA - Halton District School Board Agendas and Minutes/BdAgen… · 1 HALTON DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD Meeting will be livestreamed from J.W. Singleton Education Centre,

Halton District School Board Administrative Procedure

b) Closed Schools: The school has reached its capacity and cannot approve applications for

optional attendance.

2) An application for Optional Attendance must be submitted by the second Friday in January to the Principal of the home secondary school, using the Application for Grade 8 into Grade 9 Optional Attendance form (Appendix A). Applications are received and date/time stamped at home school. Upon receipt of an application, the home school Principal will confer with the parents to clarify the reasons for the application and to reinforce that no decisions are made until such time as enrolments are clear. Meetings with school personnel in the requested school should be arranged only upon approval of the optional attendance application.

3) Staff in all schools are expected to promote the equality of outcomes of all HDSB Grade 9 programs and the expectation that students attend their designated home schools to all students and parents. Families inquiring about optional attendance should be directed to the Principal of the designated home secondary school.

4) Decisions regarding all applications will be communicated by the requested secondary school Principal to the applicant, the home high school and the current elementary schoolboy the first week of March, using Appendix A and will attach Appendix B.

5) If granted, optional attendance is subject to annual renewal at the discretion of the Principal. Students are not eligible for Board transportation.

6) Late applications will be considered jointly by the Principals and Superintendents of the home and requested schools, subject to available student spaces as with all other Secondary School Optional Attendance requests.

7) Appeals to reconsider an application are permitted in situations where “extraordinary circumstances” need to be assessed. Appeals are to be submitted in writing by parents/guardians to the requested secondary school Superintendent of Education with a copy to the home school Principal. In cases where there is a medical reason for an appeal, the applicant must have their Registered Health Professional complete the “Optional Attendance Health Information Form” (Appendix C). Decisions regarding appeals are made in consultation with the Principals involved and communicated to the applicant by the Superintendent of Education. The decision of the Superintendent is final.

Application for Optional Attendance – Grade 10, 11, 12 The process for application for optional attendance for Grades 10, 11, 12 occurs through the home school Principal and the Principal of the requested school. This may be initiated by parents/guardians and/or students of legal age at any time of the year and requires the approval of both Principals. The process can be initiated through informal means (meeting, email or phone call) and does not require a formal application process. As the decision is based on specific programming requests and availability, the decision of the school principal is final.

Halton District School Board Administrative Procedure

Topic: Substance Abuse Intervention/Prevention

Effective: January 2012

Cross Reference: Administrative Procedures: Disability Management and Support Program – Early Intervention, Individual Work Accommodation (Medical) and Return to Work; Attendance Management and Support Program; Attendance Management, Occupational Health and Safety, Progressive Discipline; Respectful Workplaces Free of Discrimination and Harassment; Confidentiality of Medical Records; Policy: Privacy and Information Management Review

Revision Date: March 2016, October 2018, January 2019

Review Date: January 2022

Responsibility: Executive Officer of Human Resources

INTENDED PURPOSE: The Halton District School Board recognizes that substance abuse can negatively affect job productivity, the psychosocial work environment, and the health, safety and wellbeing of employees. The Board is committed to assisting employees with the prevention of substance use, the early identification of substance abuse, and referrals to rehabilitative and supportive programs within and outside of the Employer. This administrative procedure serves to ensure a healthy and safe work environment and to ensure consistency when addressing substance use issues.

PROCEDURES:

Definitions Impairment – the inability of an employee to work safely, competently or with reasonable effectiveness and safety due to the use of drugs or alcohol or due to exhaustion arising out of the use of drugs or alcohol.

Substance Abuse – the use of illegal drugs, inappropriate use of alcohol or cannabis, or the misuse of prescription or over-the-counter drugs that causes physical and/or mental harm.

1. This procedure applies to all employees of the Halton District School Board, all persons carrying out business on or off Employer property, on behalf of the Employer, and all persons carrying out duties or activities on or off Employer property.

2. The Halton District School Board holds that each employee has a responsibility for their own safety, as well as those around them. This includes reporting any behaviour that may jeopardize the safety of co-workers and/or students to the appropriate Manager of Human Resources. This does not supersede the employee’s “Duty to Report” as defined in the Child Abuse administrative procedure.

3. While on Halton District School Board business or premises, the following acts are prohibited: i. Using, possessing, trafficking, or offering alcohol or cannabis, illicit drugs or drug paraphernalia; ii. Deliberately misusing prescribed or over-the-counter medications; iii. Possessing prescribed medications without a prescription; iv. Trafficking or offering prescription medications; v. Reporting to work while impaired due to alcohol or drug use; and vi. Using any other substance(s) that, when misused, can induce a mind or body-altering effect

(solvents, gas, cleaning fluids).

4. In cases where an employee has been given a prescription for medication and this medication may affect their ability to work skillfully and safely, it is the responsibility of the employee to discuss the matter with their Principal/Supervisor/Manager or a member of the Health and Wellness Services Department in order to obtain modified work accommodations, if necessary.

Page 18: PUBLIC SESSION AGENDA - Halton District School Board Agendas and Minutes/BdAgen… · 1 HALTON DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD Meeting will be livestreamed from J.W. Singleton Education Centre,

Halton District School Board Administrative Procedure

5. Where prescribed medications are on Employer property due to an employee’s needs, said

medication must be monitored vigilantly and kept in a secure place that is out of harm’s reach and inaccessible to students (e.g., the employee’s pocket or a locked cabinet, etc).

6. In the event that an employee has violated this administrative procedure, is suspected to be under the influence, is displaying impaired behaviour, and/or impaired behaviour has been reported, these steps shall be followed by the Employer, while maintaining the employee’s confidentiality and dignity:

i. Intervene with employee and escort to a confidential area to confront suspicions and/or document evidence of impairment/use;

ii. Investigate if suspicions are correct and discuss the decline of performance and/or ability to perform duties;

iii. Obtain second opinion of impairment, if necessary;

iv. If deemed unfit to work, escort employee off of Employer property. Provide transportation for employee to hospital, if medical attention is required, or to place of residence;

v. Advise employee of their right to contact a union representative;

vi. Inform the appropriate Manager of Human Resources or designate; and

vii. In consultation with Human Resources, send written documentation to employee of steps taken and what next steps to expect, making reference to the Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP).

7. Identifying Impaired Behaviour Impairment may negatively impact employee performance and compromise an employee’s health and safety. Examples of behaviour that may give rise to reasonable cause to believe that an employee is impaired/unfit for work and may be unable to perform their job safely include but are not limited to:

Slurred speech; Glassy eyes; Flushed face or neck; Disorientation, unsteadiness, or lack of coordination; Smell of alcohol or drugs (on breath, or clothing, or in the air surrounding the employee); Uncharacteristic or abnormal behavior (e.g., frequent or rapid mood swings, excitement,

confusion, irritability, aggressiveness, remoteness, euphoria) Diminished performance (e.g., sporadic work pace, neglect of duty, increase in mistakes,

difficulty communicating or recalling instructions); and/or Memory problems.

8. Where necessary, as determined by the Executive Officer of Human Resources or designate, the Employer may further investigate the allegations of impairment or substance abuse. This may involve the assignment of the employee home with pay until completion of the investigation. Such assignment will be made at the sole discretion of Human Resources.

9. When an employee has been sent home due to substance use, a suspicion thereof, or for further investigation, the Employer may request that medical documentation be provided deeming the individual drug and/or alcohol free prior to their return to work.

10. If an employee is seeking rehabilitative services outside of the Employer for substance abuse issues, they may wish to inform their Principal/Supervisor/Manager.

i. If an employee is uncomfortable or does not wish to approach their Principal/Supervisor/Manager, they may contact the appropriate Employee Health and Wellness Abilities Specialist or, Manager of Human Resources, directly.

Page 19: PUBLIC SESSION AGENDA - Halton District School Board Agendas and Minutes/BdAgen… · 1 HALTON DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD Meeting will be livestreamed from J.W. Singleton Education Centre,

Halton District School Board Administrative Procedure

11. If the Employer determines that an employee is fit to return to work and/or medical documentation

has been received to this effect, a return-to-work meeting will be held with a member of Employee Health and Wellness the Abilities Specialist or designate to review and determine appropriate accommodations and/or supports, if required. The employee will be advised of their right to have union representation attend the meeting. At the meeting:

i. The Employer may require the employee to enter an agreement that will govern their continued employment;

ii. Restrictions, modifications and timeframes will be addressed;

iii. The schedule of follow-up meetings will be determined; and

iv. A return-to-work plan, outlining the issues that were addressed in the meeting, will be supplied to the employee for their own records.

12. In accordance with Human Rights legislation, rehabilitative services will be provided to employees who require it. Assistance for employees is provided through the Employer’s confidential Employee and Family Assistance Program, as well as referrals to outside agencies.

13. Any violation of this procedure or the return-to-work agreement may result in discipline including suspension without pay and/or termination of employment.

14. In all cases governed by this administrative procedure, those responsible for the case will hold an employee’s information, health issues, and assessments in confidence. Furthermore, the identity of any staff member who reports impaired behaviour or suspicions shall be kept confidential.

Report Number: 19107 Date: September 6, 2019

FOR INFORMATION

TO: The Chair and Members of the Halton District School Board

FROM: Maia Puccetti, Superintendent of Facility Services Stuart Miller, Director of Education

RE: Capital Update with Financials for August 2019

As per the schedule to report on capital projects, please find attached the chart showing recent activities in this regard for the reporting period of August 2019 (Appendix A).

On a quarterly basis the Capital Update report includes a financial summary of budget and expenditures for projects in process (Appendix B), the Build Capacity summary (Appendix C), and the summary for the Close the Gap program (Appendix D). While Appendix A provides progress up to the end of August, the financials outlined in Appendices B to D are as of June 30, 2019, with year end amounts being presented in November, when the Financial Statements are complete.

The timeframe for expenses on capital projects are on average, two years in duration. The timeframe may be longer due to the project size, complexity and external factors such as municipal and Ministry of Education approvals.

Once the Ministry approves funding to address accommodation pressures, the capital project budget is established which includes the awarded construction tender price, architectural and consultant fees, permits, infrastructure and land improvement costs.

The Percentage Completed Based on Amount Paid as detailed in Appendix B of the Capital Financial report represents construction costs incurred and processed as compared to the total expected tender cost. Accruals are included only at the Halton District School Board’s year end. Expenses are not incurred uniformly during construction.

Respectfully Submitted

Halton District School Board Appendix C – Build Capacity Summary

As at June 30, 2019 Build Capacity

Funding for major construction projects (new schools and additions) is based on a calculated benchmark cost based on pupil places being constructed. In cases where the final costs of the project are less than the calculated benchmark allocation, the excess funding is considered “Build Capacity” for the Board (or Ministry committed funds available for reassignment). In other words, the excess funding is not taken away from the Board; it can be reassigned to future Board construction projects. This reassignment requires Ministry approval and cannot be considered until the original project is 100% complete and the costs are final. Reassignment of “Build Capacity” can also be accessed with Ministry approval in the case of cost overruns on current construction projects. The actual “Build Capacity” amount is not recorded in the financial records of the Board and is not finalized until actual expenditures have been incurred. The Board and Ministry of Education track all capital construction projects as well as the “Build Capacity” through the use of a Ministry spreadsheet called the Capital Analysis and Planning Template (CAPT). If the final cost of the project is less than the approved Ministry funding, the surplus is tracked in the CAPT and is not recorded in the board’s financial statements. Build capacity is restricted in the case of FDK (Full Day Kindergarten) funding in that excess FDK funding can only be used for future FDK construction projects. As at June 30, 2019 the estimated “Build Capacity” per HDSB CAPT would be:

Ministry Funded Build Capacity- Capital Priorities Funding:

Status Total Build Capacity Amount ** Note

Build Capacity generated by completed projects $7,785,705.00 Various completed projects

Build Capacity allocated to future projects $(7,785,705.00) Various planned projects

Build Capacity available to be allocated to projects $0.00

**This amount has been adjusted from previous reports to account for an additional $191,481.00 in build capacity. This is related to savings in Ministry demolition funding allocated for the Martin Street P.S. rebuild project which was previously considered in-eligible for Build Capacity. The Ministry has approved use of this funding towards the Milton SW #1 Secondary school construction project.

FOR DECISION

TO: The Chair and Members of the Halton District School Board

FROM: A. Grebenc, Chair T. Ehl Harrison, Vice-Chair; Chair of Committee of the Whole

RE: Transit Passes for Secondary School Students

RECOMMENDATION:

Be it resolved that the Halton District School Board, in principle, support the concept of free transit for Burlington students through Burlington Transit, and direct staff to investigate with partners the details of a Memorandum of Understanding; and to report back regarding this opportunity (by December 2019).

Background: During the summer months, staff and elected officials from the local school boards and City of Burlington met to discuss the possibility of expanding Burlington Transit to include free transit passes for high school students. These passes would be free for students but are not intended to replace yellow school buses. The talks culminated in a Statement of Interest provided from the City to the School Boards to further investigate and potentially develop a Memorandum of Understanding(MOU) to further investigate and possibly develop a program for high school students to ride Burlington Transit for free 24 hours a day seven days a week.

Students could use these passes from the city to get to co-op education placements, volunteer positions, part-time jobs, attending school (many students are not eligible for yellow buses due to living within the 3.2km yellow bus boundary or living outside of the regular school catchment areas), getting to recreation activities, shopping, and personal appointments. The program would include access to Handivans for those that require them. The school boards currently pay for monthly passes for students under specific circumstances and this level of contribution of funds would be expected to continue to help defray municipal transit costs.

The goals outlined by the city for free student fares include: removing some of the barriers to taking transit; getting vehicles off the road; reducing Green House Gas emissions from vehicle trips driving students to and from school; introducing students to transit so they become lifelong riders; and working toward achieving our modal split of 15% non-car travel trips among all users. The program is similar to the highly successful Kingston, Ontario program.

The Mayor of Burlington presented the Statement of Interest and fielded questions from HDSB Trustees at the HDSB Committee of the Whole meeting on September 11, 2019. All trustees at the meeting agreed with the following recommendation that is required to be ratified at the Board table.

Respectfully submitted,

A. Grebenc Chair of the Board; Trustee, Burlington Wards 3 & 6

Report Number: 19109 Date: September 12, 2019

FOR DECISION

TO: The Chair and Members of the Halton District School Board

FROM: Maia Puccetti, Superintendent of Facility Services Stuart Miller, Director of Education

RE: 2019-20 LTAP School Boundary Reviews

Background: The 2018/2019 Long Term Accommodation Plan (LTAP) provided enrolment projections for 2019 to 2028 for each Elementary and Secondary Review Area (ERA and SRA) in the Board as well as for each elementary and secondary school within the system.. The LTAP provides the opportunity to identify school boundary review initiatives as a result of the construction of new schools and ongoing accommodation pressures in existing review areas. In order to proceed, trustees must approve the initiation and undertaking of school boundary reviews.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. Be it resolved that the Halton District School Board direct staff to recommence a school boundary review for the new Milton SW #1 hs, which will include schools in SRA 101, SRA 104 and SRA 105; with an expected completion date of no later than June 2020

2. Be it resolved that the Halton District School Board direct staff to recommence an elementary and secondary school boundary review for the Samuel Curtis Estates subdivision (ERA 111), which will include schools in ERA 103 (Frontenac PS, Mohawk Gardens PS , and Pineland PS) and SRA 100 (Nelson HS and Robert Bateman HS), as well as schools in ERA 112 (Eastview PS, Gladys Speers PS, Pine Grove PS) and SRA 102 (T.A. Blakelock HS); with an expected completion date of no later than February 2020.

3. Be it resolved that the Halton District School Board direct staff to undertake a school boundary review for the two communities north of Upper Middle Road and west of Bronte Road in ERA 114 (Village Common/Chateau Common to the north and Deerview Common/Trawden Way to the south) that are currently attending Heritage Glen PS (ERA 115) with an expected completion date of no later than February 2020.

4. Be it resolved that the Halton District School Board direct staff to undertake an elementary and secondary school boundary review for the Acton community in the Town of Halton Hills, which will include schools in ERA 126 (McKenzie-Smith Bennett PS and Robert Little PS) and SRA 107 (Acton District High School) with an expected completion date of no later than June 2020.

5. Be it resolved that the Halton District School Board direct staff to undertake an elementary school boundary review for the To Be Determined Area, located at the south-east corner of Derry Road and Regional Road 25, which will include Milton schools in ERA 119 and ERA 120; with an expected completion date no later than February 2020.

Discussion: The 2018/2019 Long Term Accommodation Plan (LTAP) provided enrolment projections for 2019 to 2028 for each Elementary and Secondary Review Area (ERA and SRA) in the Board as well as for each elementary and secondary school within the system. The LTAP provides the opportunity to identify school boundary review initiatives that are to be undertaken as a result of ongoing capital initiatives or as a result of new development and/or enrollment pressures on schools.

1. Burlington SRA 101, Milton SRA 104 and SRA 105 – Milton SW #1 hs

The Board received Capital Priorities funding approval for the new Milton SW #1 hs in October 2016. The new school is to be constructed Bronte St., south of Louis St. Laurent Blvd. The project was tendered during the summer of 2018, however, the tender came in above Ministry allocation. As a result, HDSB did not receive permission to proceed from the MInistry of Education and the project was returned to the design stage. Cost-savings measures were found in the redesign of the school and the Ministry granted permission to proceed to tender on July 19, 2019. The school is now projected to open for 2021/2022 at the earliest.

It is recommended this review also include SRA 101, in particular the area impacting Kilbride PS, north of Dundas St. and 407 ETR. Dr. Frank J Hayden SS is currently above capacity and is projected to remain above capacity for the next ten years. Kilbride PS is currently directed to Milton District HS and Dr. Frank J Hayden SS. Including Kilbride PS in this review will review the opportunity to have a united cohort that would attend one high school.

In the boundary review report that was presented to the Board in September 2018, the boundary review was scheduled to be completed by June 2019, in anticipation of the school opening for September 2020. As a result of delays in approval from the Ministry, this boundary review for the new Milton SW #1 hs was put on hold. Given the recent Ministry approvals it is recommended that this boundary review be recommenced, with an expected completion by no later than June 2020, in anticipation of the school opening for September 2021.

2. Burlington ERA 103 and SRA 100 and Oakville ERA 111, 112 and SRA 102 -Samuel Curtis Estates (SW Oakville) Redirection

The 2017-18 LTAP identified that in ERA 111, there is an area that currently attends schools in Burlington (ERA 103 - Frontenac PS, Mohawk Gardens PS and Pineland PS; SRA 100 - Nelson HS and Robert Bateman HS). This area is commonly known as “Samuel Curtis Estates” and is located at the SE corner of Burloak Drive and Lakeshore Road and was the first residential development in this area with no residential development of the Petro Canada lands that are located to the north and to the east of Samuel Curtis Estates. Historically, this area has been directed to Burlington schools because of proximity to existing Burlington schools and relative isolation from the existing residential in ERA 111. With the redevelopment of the Petro Canada lands (now known as the “Lakeshore Woods” community), there has been interest in redirecting public school students from Burlington to Oakville schools in ERA 112. Currently those English program students in the Lakeshore Woods community attend Gladys Speers PS for JK to Grade 6 and Eastview PS for Grade 7 and 8; while FI students attend Pine Grove PS (Grade 2 to Grade 8). Therefore the 2017-2018 LTAP identified that consideration should be given to the potential redirection of that area to elementary and secondary schools in Oakville. The undertaking of this boundary review was approved by trustees in the fall of 2018.

The first Boundary Review Steering Committee (BRSC) meeting took place in February 2019. Through the preliminary discussions on procedure and initial scenarios, it was apparent that the one issue that needed to be addressed was the Oakville SW #1 ps school site located on Nautical Blvd in ERA 111. Further discussion revealed that any boundary changes and development of accommodation strategies for the schools involved in this boundary study would require a decision

Page 30: PUBLIC SESSION AGENDA - Halton District School Board Agendas and Minutes/BdAgen… · 1 HALTON DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD Meeting will be livestreamed from J.W. Singleton Education Centre,

Halton District School Board

30

on the status of Oakville SW #1 ps before the start of the review. It was determined that the review needed to be put on hold until this issue was resolved.

In May 2019, trustees recommended that the Oakville SW #1 ps school site be declared surplus to the needs of the Board and the property be disposed of in accordance with Ontario Regulation 444/98. Given the Board will no longer moving forward with a new school in this area it was concluded that the boundary review be recommenced, which was identified in the 2018-2019 LTAP. It is the expectation that this boundary review will be completed by the end of February 2020.

3. Oakville ERA 114 and 115 - NW Oakville - Ward 4 elementary boundary review

There are two communities north of Upper Middle Road and west of Bronte Road in ERA 114 (Village Common/Chateau Common - “north pocket” and Deerview Common/Trawden Way - “south pocket”) that currently attend Heritage Glen PS in ERA 115. Under the recommendation of the NW Oakville French Immersion boundary review during the 2011/2012 school year, Heritage Glen PS opened in Sept 2012 as a JK-8 ENG and 1-3 FI elementary school, growing by one FI grade every year until 2017/2018. As part of this boundary study it was also determined that elementary students in the two communities would attend Heritage Glen PS for ENG and FI.

As of October 31, 2018 there are 62 elementary students attending Heritage Glen PS from these two communities (24 elementary students from the north pocket and 38 elementary students from the south pocket). Therefore, given that these two communities are within the Palermo community and enrolments are projected to decline over the next 10 years, it is concluded that these communities should be redirected back to Palermo PS. It is the expectation that this boundary review will be completed by the end of February 2020.

4. Halton Hills ERA 126 and SRA 107 - Acton schools boundary review

There has been discussion within the Board and school board staff about student enrolment numbers in Acton, and the three schools located there (McKenzie-Smith Bennett PS, Robert Little PS and Acton District HS). Currently, McKenzie-Smith Bennett PS is a JK -8 ENG and 6-8 FI school and has a current OTG utilization of 85%. In the 2018/2019 LTAP, this school is projected to decrease to 69% OTG utilization by 2028. Robert Little PS is a JK -5 ENG and 2-5 FI school and has a current OTG utilization of 75%. In the 2018/2019 LTAP, this school is projected to decrease to 70% OTG utilization by 2028.

Acton District High School is a Grade 9-12 ENG and FI school and has a current OTG utilization of 68%. In the 2018/2019 LTAP update, OTG utilization is projected to decrease to 62% by 2028.

There has been discussion regarding the opportunity to reconfigure the grade structures at these 3 schools. This would include investigating the moving of the Grade 7 and 8 program from McKenzie-Smith Bennett PS to Acton District HS. It is the expectation this boundary review will be completed by the end of June 2020.

5. Milton ERA 119 and 120 -To Be Determined Boundary Review (Milton -Derry Road and Regional Road 25)

As a result of the Viola Desmond PS boundary review recommended scenario (Board Report 18020) a “To Be Determined” area was created for the Briarwood Development (24T-17001) located at the southeast corner of Derry Road and Regional Road 25. This development is directed to Craig Kielburger HS, but no elementary school. The development consists of three apartment buildings as well as five 3-story stacked townhouse buildings backing on to Sixteen Mile Creek Valley In total the development is planned to have 82 medium density units and 606 high-density units. As of May 2019, the developer has indicated that groundbreaking is tentatively expected for June 2020. It is recommended to commence a boundary review and designate elementary school (s) for this area prior

Halton District School Board

31

to the sale of units. It is the expectation that this boundary review will be completed by the end of February 2020.

6. Burlington ERA 100, ERA 101 and SRA 100 - Grade 7 to 12 French Immersion Enrolment Monitoring at Aldershot HS.

During the Burlington PAR process, there was some concern with respect to the viability of the French Immersion program at two secondary schools, Aldershot HS and Burlington Central HS. As a result in the final Burlington PAR report, there was a commitment to monitor FI enrolment at both Aldershot HS and Burlington Central HS.

Historically, the Aldershot HS Grade 9 FI class averages 26 students; however, the introduction of the ISTEM program for September 2019, has impacted the FI enrolment at the school. The chart below indicates that there are only 9 students enrolled in Grade 9 FI at Aldershot HS.

English ISTEM FI Total

Grade 9 Aldershot 56 112 9 177

As the introduction of the ISTEM program has only been introduced this year at the school, the longer term impact on enrolments in the FI program is still unknown. Moving forward, Board staff will continue to monitor FI enrolments at Aldershot High School and Burlington Central High School to ensure program viability.
