Project Information

The Department of Community Engagement and Operational Planning has identified the need to address student enrolment in the residential districts of Haysboro in Area V. Why has this student accommodation issue been identified?

  • The opening of Evergreen School in September 2010 will have an impact on the K-4 enrolment at Eugene Coste School
  • There is low enrolment from the Haysboro residential district at:
    • Eugene Coste School
    • Haysboro School

In order to effectively use space and resources for both educational programming and plant operations & maintenance, there is a need to provide: 

  • Sustainable Kindergarten to Grade 6 regular programming for the residential district of:
    • Haysboro
  • Currently there are 2 schools serving the Haysboro residential district, and it is anticipated that only 1 will be required in the future
  • A Kindergarten to Grade 9 regular programming and learning continuum for the residential district of:
    • Evergreen
  • Effective use of space and resources
    • For both educational programming and plant operations and maintenance
  • Consideration of effective and efficient transportation and walk zones

The Department of Community Engagement and Operational Planning is working with school and community stakeholders to address this issue. See below for the community engagement strategy and meeting documents to help you stay informed.

Community Engagement Strategy

Our goal is to consult with you by obtaining your feedback on:

  • The proposed student accommodation plan and the implementation of the proposed administrative recommendation

By consult, we mean that we will:

  • Keep you and other identified stakeholders informed
  • Listen to and acknowledge concerns
  • Be open to feedback regarding the proposed administrative recommendation

Your input may influence details of the scenario’s final implementation. However, the final decision on any attendance area changes will be made by the Area V Director in conjunction with the Director of Community Engagement and Operational Planning. Any decisions regarding consideration of closure of programs and/or schools will be made by the Board of Trustees upon a recommendation from the Area V Director and the Director of Community Engagement and Operational Planning. We will also provide you with an opportunity to offer feedback on this engagement process.
