Public Meeting #2 (Open House)

Public Meeting #2 was held at two locations in Burlington. The purpose of the meetings was to provide the opportunity for parent/guardians, students and community members to review and provide feedback on the remaining options for the Burlington Secondary Program Accommodation and Review (PAR) process. These public meetings were in an open house format with individual stations attended by staff members to answer questions about the remaining options.

After reviewing the options, the Board encouraged the community to provide input through an online survey, which was available through the Board website. This survey was available for two weeks starting Monday, February 27 until Monday, March 13 (ending at 4:30 p.m.).

A Guide to the Public Meeting/Open House is available online. This guide also presents a textual summary of each of the remaining 6 options.

The same information was presented at both meetings.
