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

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.

Pockets of over and underutilization

10

Elementary

• At the neighbourhood level,

some schools are growing and becoming overutilized while

• thers are declining and

becoming underutilized.

• There is more pressure at our

elementary schools than our secondary schools:  Full-day kindergarten doubled our kindergarten enrolment;  We essentially lost 20% of

• ur secondary program with

the elimination of Grade 13 in 2003. Secondary

Projected 2028 Projected 2028

Residential intensification pressure

11

• 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.

• We are experiencing, or

forecasting to experience, significant pressures in certain areas such as the Centres, Central Waterfront and along corridors. Development Projects Urban Structure

12

In summary

• TDSB has areas of growth, areas of decline, schools with
• verutilization, 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).

13

• Based on collaboration between the academic and
• perational 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

Implementation

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

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
• n the TDSB public website in

the Community section.

Report out as required Conduct Local Feasibility Team Meetings Follow appropriate Policy and Procedure Conduct Public Consultation Meetings

E.g. P078 PR704 P068 PR598 PR715 P080 PR597 Coordinated by the Central Accommodation Team (CAT) Implementation

Coordination of the Studies

• Implementation of the studies in

the LTPAS is coordinated by the Central Accommodation Team (CAT).

• The CAT is a cross-departmental

team of senior staff who meet every 2 weeks to manage the work plan.

30

First Step - Local Feasibility Studies

• A Local Feasibility Study is a

preliminary, internal analysis of an accommodation or program issue.

• The Local Feasibility Study is

conducted by a Local Feasibility Team (LFT). This Team is led by the local

• SOE. It includes the local Trustee(s),

the directly-affected Principals, and central staff such as Planning.

• The goal of the Local Feasibility Team

is to develop one or more feasible solutions.

Report out as required Conduct Local Feasibility Team Meetings Follow appropriate Policy and Procedure Conduct Public Consultation Meetings

E.g. P078 PR704 P068 PR598 PR715 P080 PR597 Coordinated by the Central Accommodation Team (CAT) Implementation

31

Second Step - Reviews

• If the Local Feasibility Team is able to

come up with one or more feasible solutions, then the second step in the study is to conduct a review.

• There are a number of different types
• f review processes. The review

process to follow depends on the nature of the feasible solution(s) to be investigated.

• The level of community engagement

(e.g. information sharing and consultation) will vary for the different reviews.

Communication

• An important part of

community engagement involves providing clear, concise and timely communication.

• Tools such as public notices

about public meetings and supports such as interpreters and child minders during meetings encourage participation.

• Detailed information about

individual reviews is available on the TDSB public website. On the TDSB Public Website

43

Questions Answers

&

44

• How is space in our schools allocated?
• What does the data tell us about our schools here in

Toronto-Danforth?

• What does it mean when a school is full?
• What happens when a school closes?
• What do terms like utilization rate, PARC, PART, and

boundary-change review mean?
