Description and Analysis

St. Agatha Catholic Elementary School (CES) would close and all students

would move to St. Clement CES effective September 2017.

All students would move together to St. Clement and would continue to

attend a rural school.

Students would have greater opportunities for larger age-appropriate social

groups by attending a larger school.

Students would have greater potential for program options with a larger

school staff.

Students living in Waterloo would be bussed to St. Clement whereas Holy

Rosary is closer.

St. Clement is part of the St. David school family whereas St. Agatha and

Holy Rosary are part of the Resurrection school family.

St. Clement would be over capacity and would likely require a portable (small

site).

Holy Rosary would not be affected and continue to have a low utilization

rate.
