Parents and community members are invited to review and give feedback on the Halton District School Board’s 2015-2016 Long-Term Accommodation Plan
(LTAP).
This plan addresses the existing and projected accommodation needs of students in elementary and secondary schools and identifies new capital
project initiatives, such as the need for new schools.
The Long-Term Accommodation Plan along with Powerpoint presentations, which we have set out below, outlining key points for Burlington, Halton Hills, Milton, and Oakville.
The information is available on the school boards web site at www.hdsb.ca. Follow the link from the homepage under ‘Program and Accommodation’ to access the plan and presentations.
The Board wants any input before Wednesday, April 27, 2016.
You can communicate using either of the following:
The online feedback form here <https://checkbox.hdsb.ca/ltap.aspx>
or visit https://checkbox.hdsb.ca/ltap.aspx
By mail: Planning Department, PO Box 5005 STN LCD 1, Burlington, ON L7R 3Z2
Staff will report back to Trustees at the May 4, 2016 Board meeting and recommend any changes to the LTAP.
There isn’t much in the way of opportunity to comment on the web site. You might find it more useful to be in touch with your trustee if you have concerns. Responders are given a number of boxes that can be ticked off. The questions asked are:
Check all that apply
Timing and Status of Capital Projects
Condition of Physical structure, facility issues (e.g. equity between new and old schools)
Future elementary and secondary boundary reviews and Program and Accommodation Review
School utilization rates and capacities
School program offerings and/or relation to school utilizations
Transportation issues and walkability of schools.
