COMMUNITY INFORMATION MEETING
Three school boundary options were presented for community comment and input:
Option #1Option #2Option #3
12
Community Consult #1• January 12th Open House/Community Information Meeting was
held at St. Elizabeth Seton School
• 100 - 125 people attended the Open House/Community Information Meeting where the SBRC reviewed the process, criteria and options
• Following the SBRC’s presentation, the floor was opened for parents to ask questions/comments
• Approximately 35 parents spoke at the Open House and a total of approximately 45 written comments were received
13
Community Feedback• All three Interim Boundary Options were perceived as
essentially the same option
• Why was only one area considered for redirection and why were other areas not an option for redirection?
• Move only the students for the new Alton Village School and keep the St. Christopher and St. Elizabeth Seton School boundaries as is
• Community requested to see additional school boundary options involving the school attendance area North of Dryden Avenue and West of Orchard Road
14
Community Feedback• Option #1 was selected as the most preferred option
of the three Interim Options
• To respond to the community feedback the SBRC requested an extension of time from the Board to complete its mandate
• A second Open House/Community Information Meeting was scheduled for March 8, 2012 to provide another opportunity for the community to comment and submit input
