particular challenges regarding:

• enrolment (either too few or too many students)
• the ability to deliver programming (multi grades or

scheduling classes), and

• the condition of school buildings (the need for repairs)
• On November 24, 2010, the Board approved

accommodation reviews for three groups of elementary schools

Policy Background

• Staff present an alternative accommodation option(s) to the

ARC and community

• The pupil accommodation review process is transparent and

consultative

• An accommodation review focuses on a group of schools in an

area rather than on a single school

• Each school will be assessed using a School Information Profile

(SIP)

• A Board resolution to close a school will include timelines for

closure

Policy Highlights

consisting of:

• Voting membership consists of:

(a) two parents/ guardians, from the attendance area of each school, appointed by the school council; (b) one student appointed by student council (secondary schools); (c) one community representative from each municipality, appointed by the municipal council, who is a public school supporter

• Non voting membership consists of;

(a) local trustee(s); (b) the principal(s); (c) the superintendent(s) of education K-12; (d) the director of education or designate who will chair the ARC

School Information Profile (SIP)

Alternative Accom m odation Option

Enrolment

• Enrolment at schools in the ARC has seen a slow steady decline over the past five

years and this trend is expected to continue

• Full Day Kindergarten will minimize the impact of decline at Moonstone ES and

Warminster ES.

• Coldwater PS will continue to decline at a higher rate
• Continued enrolment decline will result in increasing program challenges
• School enrolments are not balanced with school capacity. Coldwater PS is

becoming under capacity and Moonstone ES is 150% over capacity

• Declining enrolment is not unique to this area and is prevalent in mature and

rural regions board wide

• Projections have taken into account the implementation of the full time early

learning kindergarten program

• No significant residential development is concentrated in the communities

Summary of Pressures

Summary of Pressures Program

• Declining enrolment is impacting the delivery of program

to students at all schools in the ARC

• Grade splits
• Availability of extracurricular and co-curricular activities
• Negative impacts on program delivery will begin to have

a greater affect on these schools as they continue to decline

• Moonstone PS accommodates JK – 6
• Moonstone grade 7 and 8s are accommodated at

Coldwater PS

Summary of Pressures Facility Condition

• Combined, there is an approximate $2.1 million backlog
• f renewal projects needed at these schools
• By 2021 approximately $7.2 million will be required to

address renewal projects needed at these schools

• These estimations do not include upgrading schools to

current building code and accessibility standards

• These estimations do not include upgrading program

spaces (library, gymnasium, special education, play area, kindergarten, administrative)

Alternative Accommodation Option

• Pupil Accommodation Review Policy - 2313 requires

board staff to provide the ARC with at least one alternative accommodation option

• Board staff accommodation option would require a

Capital Priority project to be submitted to the Ministry of Education

• Sum m ary of option:
• Close Moonstone ES (June 2015)
• Transfer from Moonstone PS to Coldwater PS
• – Approximately 114 students
• Transfer from Moonstone ES to Warminster ES

– Approximately 43 students

• Construct a 5 room addition at Coldwater PS and 1 room

addition at Warminster ES in 2015 to accommodate additional students

Ontario Demographic Trends 2009-2036

• Ontario’s population is projecting healthy growth over the next 27

years.

• Net migration is projected to account for 68 per cent of all population

growth

• The number of seniors aged 65 and over is projected to more than

double

• The children’s (0-4) share of population is projected to decline until

2015, rise slightly over the 2015–2026 period as the baby boom echo generation have children and then resume declining until 2036.

• The number of Ontarians aged 15–64 is projected to grow from

9.1 million in 2009 to 10.8 million by 2036.

• The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is projected to be the fastest growing

region of the province, with its population increasing by 3.0 million by 2036.

• Total fertility rate in Ontario reached its lowest level ever recorded in

2002, at 1.48 children per woman. Since then it has increased to 1.57 in 2007 (latest available). It is believed over the long term values below the replacement level (2.1) are likely.
