Why do we need a long-term strategy? To support our goals, in particular to: •  Provide Equity of Access to Learning Opportunities for All Students  Allocate Human and Financial Resources Strategically to Support Student Needs  Build Strong Relationships and Partnerships Within School Communities to Support Student Learning and Well-Being To approach our work from a system perspective • To be good stewards of our resources • To prioritize our work • To be responsive to changes • To be open and transparent with our communities • To meet Ministry expectations • 3

Long-Term Program and Accommodation Strategy 2018-2027 • In June 2018, the Board of Trustees approved the latest version of the Long-Term Program and Accommodation Strategy which includes a list of studies to be conducted over the next 10 years. • The document is available on the TDSB public website under Accommodation Reviews . 5

Pockets of over and underutilization Elementary • At the neighbourhood level, some schools are growing and becoming overutilized while others are declining and becoming underutilized. Projected • There is more pressure at our 2028 elementary schools than our Secondary secondary schools:  Full-day kindergarten doubled our kindergarten enrolment;  We essentially lost 20% of Projected our secondary program with 2028 the elimination of Grade 13 in 2003. 10

Residential intensification pressure Urban Structure • We are experiencing, or forecasting to experience, significant pressures in certain areas such as the Centres, Central Waterfront and along corridors. Development Projects • Over 290,000 residential units are in the development pipeline (under review or approved and not built yet) -- 16% over forecasts in the provincial growth plan. 11 Source: City of Toronto, How Does the City Grow?, July 2018, page 5

In summary • TDSB has areas of growth, areas of decline, schools with overutilization, and schools with underutilization. • We have a dynamic organization serving a dynamic city (i.e., characterized by continuous change and activity). • We need an annual process to manage the change that is always looking out over 10 years (a rolling 10-year plan). 12

Annual LTPAS Process • Based on collaboration between the academic and operational areas • Uses up-to-date operational, planning and program data • Incorporates meetings with Trustees, Superintendents of Education, and central staff to review issues and concepts 13

Annual LTPAS Process Process to review and update the Process to implement the studies in the LTPAS studies in the LTPAS Coordinated by the Central Board Approval Implementation Accommodation Team (CAT) Develop Capital Conduct Local Budget Feasibility Team E.g. Spring Summer Meetings P078 PR704 Update Long ‐ Term Follow appropriate P068 Implementation Program and Policy and Procedure PR598 Accommodation Strategy document PR715 Refresh System P080 inventory Winter Fall Conduct Public PR597 Review studies and Consultation concepts for discussion Meetings with Trustees and staff (modify, add or Identify concepts for remove) discussion (issues, needs, gaps) Report out as required 14

Guiding Principles • The guiding principles are intended to move the TDSB forward as a system to better meet the needs of students. They represent broad goals to which we aspire over time. The degree to which they can be achieved will be influenced by local circumstances and availability of funding. • The guiding principles are not intended to repeat what is already found in the TDSB’s Mission, Values and Goals, policies and procedures, but to provide supplemental guidance to these documents. • The guiding principles are grouped under two themes: “Equity of Access” and “Efficient and Flexible Learning Space” . 15

Equity of Access These principles seek to strengthen access to neighbourhood schools that are of a sufficient size to enable them to provide the range of program opportunities that students want and need to be successful. 1. Neighbourhood schools that meet the needs of all students 2. Optimal elementary school size of at least two classes per grade 3. Optimal secondary school size of at least 1,000 students 4. Consistent attendance boundaries 5. School locations that support active transportation 6. Minimal transitions 7. Balanced enrolment across tracks 16

Efficient and Flexible Learning Space These principles promote flexibility to enable us to adapt to a dynamic and changing city while efficiently managing space. 8. Optimal utilization rate of 90% 9. Minimal use of portables 10. Flexible buildings and sites 11. Different models of school organization 17

Types of Studies 1. Emerging capital priority 7. New program studies (French, projects Gifted and Others) 2. Pupil accommodation reviews 8. Child care occupancy reviews 3. Boundary change studies 9. Non-operating school site studies 4. Grade change studies 5. Program relocation studies 6. Development redirection studies 18

Summary of the 2018-2027 Studies • In total, 144 studies have been identified to be investigated over the next 10 years • For Ward 15, 6 studies have been identified to be investigated over the next 10 years 19

Rooms available for potential partnership As part of the Ministry of • Education’s initiative on Community Planning and Partnerships, school boards are required to identify unused rooms and make them available for public agencies to lease. • The schools with unused rooms are identified during the annual LTPAS process. • The list of schools is available on the TDSB public website in the Community section. 27
