Boundary Review Background
At the December 7, 2022 Board meeting, HDSB Trustees approved a motion to initiate a boundary review process to establish the recently funded Oakville NE #3 PS and Oakville NE #5 PS, as well as include facilities located in the North Oakville Secondary Plan within ERA 118, as well as select schools in ERA 114 to 117 to address existing accommodation pressures and underutilization, and update current and future holding school boundaries in anticipation for future new school facilities in North Oakville to open.
BE IT RESOLVED THAT, the Halton District School Board direct staff to complete a boundary review for ERA 114 (Palermo and West Oak Trails), ERA 115 (Glen Abbey), ERA 116 (Munn’s Creek), ERA 117 (Morrison Valley), and ERA 118 (North Oakville) with the objective of establishing new boundaries for Oakville #3 PS and Oakville #5 PS, address Accommodation pressures throughout the study area, and update holding school boundaries.
Confirmed by the Boundary Review Steering Committee, the following schools are to be involved in the review:
- ERA 114: Palermo PS (ENG and FI holding school potential repatriations)
- ERA 115: Forest Trail PS (potential FI holding school)
- ERA 116: Munns PS and Sunningdale PS (FI holding schools and potential repatriation) and Post’s Corners and River Oaks (ENG holding schools and potential repatriation and ENG boundary realignment)
- ERA 117: Falgarwood PS (ENG holding school potential repatriations)
