  • Enrolment at schools in the ARC has seen a slow steady decline
  • ver the past five years and this trend is expected to continue
  • Continued enrolment decline will result in increasing program

challenges

  • School enrolments are not balanced with school 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

Growth (Township of Oro-Medonte)

  • The Province has directed that growth be allocated to

settlement areas that have full sewer and water

municipally owned water system and private septic systems would occur

municipal water and private septic systems would occur

cost-effective, rational and environmentally sound manner to address matters related to servicing, roads, parkland, and the need for community facilities

with adequate park and school facilities
