Re: West Galt Elementary Schools Pupil Accommodation Review –Accommodation Report and Recommendations of the ARC
Dear Director Fabi and Chairperson Fife, We are submitting herewith our Accommodation Report and Recommendations as fulfillment of our role as the Accommodation Review Committee (ARC) for the West Galt Elementary Schools Pupil Accommodation Review, initiated by the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) on February 14, 2011. The main purpose of this report is to share the ARC’s findings and recommendations with respect to the accommodation of students in the West Galt Review area of the WRDSB, which includes Blair Road, Dickson, Highland, St. Andrew’s and Tait Street Public Schools. Throughout the review, the ARC met in Committee meetings a total of thirteen times, and held four public meetings, as mandated by Board Policy 4000 (Pupil Accommodation Review), which is consistent with the requirements of the Ontario Ministry of Education Pupil Accommodation Review Guideline published June 26, 2009. In accordance with Board Policy 4000, the ARC was comprised of the school principals and up to two school representatives from each of the five schools in the Review, the Review area Superintendent, a staff member from the City of Cambridge Planning Services Department, and WRDSB Planning and Facilities staff. The ARC also consulted with WRDSB Learning Services (Program and Special Education) staff. We are pleased to note that the recommendations of the ARC for the West Galt Elementary Schools Pupil Accommodation Review area were confirmed at the ARC meeting of June 12, 2012, which followed the fourth public meeting. The ARC is also recommending that work continue on the transition planning that will be required once the Board of Trustees make their decision on the future of the schools in the Accommodation Review.
APPENDIX A
Concurrently with this submission, the Accommodation Review Committee School Accommodation Report and Recommendations will be posted on the Board’s website for members of the public and trustees to review. Materials not included in this report as appendices, such as ARC meeting minutes, public meeting minutes, notices, flyers and advertisements, early scenarios considered and relevant reports, data and maps can also be viewed online at: http://www.wrdsb.ca/planning/accommodation-reviews/west-galt-elementary-schools or in hard copy at each of the schools involved in the Accommodation Review and at the WRDSB Education Centre in the Director’s office. We believe we have satisfied the Accommodation Review Committee’s role as set out in Board Policy 4000, and trust that the Board of Trustees will support and approve the ARC’s recommendations. Unless called upon, we consider our work as the West Galt ARC to be complete.

Executive Summary This report is intended to advise and inform the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) Board of Trustees of the information gathered and consultation conducted by the West Galt Accommodation Review Committee (ARC) in order to develop the final recommendations provided in this report. The final decision on outcome of the pupil accommodation review is to be made by the elected Board of Trustees. The ARC agreed upon Scenario 23 as the recommended strategy for pupil accommodation in the West Galt review area. The following is a brief outline of the ARC’s recommendations provided in this report. The ARC recommends:
1. To close Dickson P.S. 2. To construct a new JK-6 facility 3. To modify the boundary for Blair Road P.S. 4. To modify the boundary and add Grade 6 to Highland P.S. 5. To modify the boundary for Tait Street P.S. 6. To offer only Grades 7 and 8 at St. Andrew’s P.S.
An approximate timeline of the implementation of these recommendations is attached as Appendix B.

Introduction The purpose of this report is to provide to the Waterloo Region District School Board’s (WRDSB) Board of Trustees the recommendations of the West Galt Elementary Schools Pupil Accommodation Review Committee (ARC) on pupil accommodation within the West Galt Review Area of Cambridge and North Dumfries.
Background In June 2009, the Ontario Ministry of Education released a revised version of the Pupil Accommodation Review Guideline. The Guideline provides direction to school boards regarding public accommodation reviews undertaken to determine the future of a school or group of schools. The Guideline ensures that where a decision is taken by a school board regarding the future of a school, that decision is made with the full involvement of an informed local community and it is based on a broad range of criteria regarding the quality of learning experience for students. In November 2009, the WRDSB approved its own policy, Board Policy 4000, following the provincial Guideline. This policy establishes the process for undertaking pupil accommodation reviews. On February 14, 2011, a report titled Report on Elementary Boundary Studies and Accommodation Reviews 2010-2011 was presented at the Committee of the Whole Meeting. Based on the recommendations of this report, the WRDSB (Board) approved a motion to initiate a pupil accommodation review in the West Galt area of Cambridge. The schools identified in the review area include: Blair Road, Dickson, Highland, St. Andrew’s and Tait Street Public Schools.
West Galt Accommodation Review The West Galt review area is made up of 5 schools (see Figure 1), that serve the student populations west of the Grand River in the southern portion of Cambridge, historically known as Galt. The review area also reaches into the Township of North Dumfries, including the Township settlement areas known as Brown, Dickie One, Dickie Two, Innanen, and Riverview. Overall, the review area is defined by the St. Andrew’s P.S. Grade 7/8 boundary. The review area generally contains older (30 plus years) established neighbourhoods; however, pockets of new and planned residential development are expected to place localized pressure on facilities.

Representation from the broader community was sought; however, no interest was expressed from an individual without a conflict of interest.
Timelines and Activities The ARC ensured that the minimum timelines as established by both the Ministry of Education Guideline and Board Policy 4000 for the accommodation review process were met. Throughout the review, a total of four public meetings were held to provide opportunity for a wide range of school and community groups to participate in the consultation. Public meetings were advertised in two area newspapers (the Waterloo Region Record, and the Cambridge Times), on the WRDSB main website and school websites, the WRDSB twitter feed, in school newsletters/emails and school signs (e.g. St. Andrew’s P.S. readerboard and flyers posted in schools) and in notices sent home with each student in the review area. The following is a summary of the activities of the ARC prior to submission of this report. ACTIVITY DATE LOCATION Board approval to commence review

Public Information and Access In addition to the four public meetings, all relevant accommodation review information was posted on the WRDSB website and available in hard copy in binders kept at each of the schools in the review area and at the Education Centre. Minutes of the ARC meetings and public meetings where a formal presentation was conducted were posted on the WRDSB website for public access. Information provided at public meeting open houses and other requested information was also posted on the WRDSB website and made available in hard copy.
Rationale for a Pupil Accommodation Review There were several key reasons the WRDSB initiated an accommodation review for the West Galt area. These reasons included:
• School size and configuration In June 2010, the WRDSB passed a new policy (Board Policy 3002) related to elementary school size and configuration, which relates to the research presented in the Good Schools Standing Committee Report of the same name dated May 17, 2007. This policy states that when considering Pupil Accommodation Reviews, the following guiding principles are to be used:
• JK-8 facilities will ideally have a built capacity of between 500 and 650 students;
• JK-6 facilities will ideally have a built capacity of between 350 and 400 students;
• JK-6 facilities will be designed to accommodate future expansion to accommodate a JK-8 configuration where practical;
• That planning for elementary school configurations consider the following: o Have at least 2 classes per grade in JK-6 to support professional
learning communities; o Have more than 2 classes per grade in Grades 7 and 8 to support
program; o Minimize the number of schools with FTE enrolments over 650
students, including the Full-Day Kindergarten program, wherever possible;
o Be sensitive to the impact on elementary students transitioning between schools
The schools in the West Galt review area do not currently meet the majority of these criteria. Table 1 outlines the size and configuration of each of the facilities.

• Capacity issues This year both Highland P.S. and St. Andrew’s P.S. are over capacity and have portable classrooms on site to accommodate students. The WRDSB was allocated funding in January 2012 to construct 4 classrooms to implement the Full-Day Kindergarten program at Highland P.S. for September 2012. These 4 classrooms will be replacing 6 classrooms that were in a porta-pack that has been demolished. This addition will change the school’s built capacity to 431 (using current Ministry Kindergarten classroom loading of 20); however, it is anticipated that portables will still be required to accommodate students.
• Facility and site issues The most recent school to be built in the West Galt Review Area was Blair Road P.S. almost 50 years ago. Although there have been more recent additions and renovations to some of the facilities, the majority of the classroom and ancillary spaces in the West Galt schools are older and the facilities are experiencing higher maintenance cost than newer facilities in the Board. Table 2 summarizes the original year of construction of the facility as well as the years any additions were constructed. It also provides a summary of the site size and the gross floor area of the buildings. Table 2: West Galt Facility and Site Information

Tait Street P.S. 1958 1964, 1971 4.66 3118 As Table 2 shows, the Dickson P.S. facility is situated on less than an acre of land (0.96 acres). It is the smallest elementary school site in the Board. When it was built in the
West Galt Accommodation Review Committee Accommodation Report
Page 7
late 1800s, gymnasiums, libraries, kindergarten rooms and large open play spaces were not an essential part of an elementary school facility. These facilities still do not exist at Dickson P.S. Since the site is constrained with respect to size, and the building has been designated by the City of Cambridge as a property of historical and architectural significance, there is little opportunity to remedy these issues. As a guideline, the Board will consider constructing double gymnasiums for schools over 400 pupil places. With school enrolments exceeding 400 students, it becomes challenging to schedule classes for quality daily physical activity (QDPA) in a single gymnasium. The current enrolment at Highland P.S. (532 total students) suggests that its single gymnasium may not provide the gymnasium space required for all students/classes to have access to the facility for QDPA. The Tait Street P.S. site has no frontage; therefore, it has no formally designated location for buses to pick up/drop off students. There is currently only one bus bringing students to the school; however, with the implementation of Full-Day Kindergarten in 2014, it is anticipated that an additional bus will be required. In 2005, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) was passed. This legislation dictates that all public facilities, including schools, need to be accessible on or before January 1, 2025. Older, multi-storey facilities are also often inaccessible under the Act. Table 3 summarizes the accessibility requirements for the facilities in the West Galt Review Area. Specifically there are accessibility issues at Dickson P.S., St. Andrew’s P.S. and Tait Street P.S. that will need to be addressed prior to 2025. Table 3: West Galt Accessibility Summary (2008)

• Localized residential development
In more mature communities there is an expectation that the peak enrolments have subsided. As Table 4 shows, the majority of the housing stock in the West Galt community predates the 1970s; however, there are a few areas with plans of subdivision that have started building in recent years. Currently there are plans to add approximately 440 additional homes to the Highland P.S. boundary (some of these homes are already being built). These plans are expected to reach full build out within the next 10 years. This may supplement localized enrolment in that boundary.

Another area with growth potential is known as the Cambridge West Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) study area. This study area falls within the Blair Road P.S. boundary. As of this date no formal application has been submitted to the City of Cambridge for development on these lands; however, there is a projected potential for 700-900 homes to be built in this area. Given the uncertainty and timing of this development, it is premature to include these homes in the 10 year enrolment projections for the West Galt review area. These and other development proposals within the West Galt Review Area are shown on Figure 2. Figure 2: Development potential within the West Galt Review Area2

• Enrolment changes/shifts
One of the major challenges the board faces is accommodating a mobile population in stationary facilities built at the time for the programs and enrolment of the day. Due to demographic and population changes, some schools in the review area (Tait Street P.S. specifically) had experienced enrolment decline; whereas others had experienced growth (Highland P.S., St. Andrew’s P.S.) over the past 5 years. Table 5 and Table 6 illustrate the historic and projected enrolment (with status quo boundaries) at each of the facilities in the review area. Table 5: West Galt Historic Enrolment (2006-2011)

• Evolving curriculum direction/school organization In this review area, the WRDSB operates two JK-5, two JK-6 schools and one 6-8 facility. There are currently no opportunities for students to attend a JK-8 facility in the review area. On October 27, 2009, the Ministry of Education announced its intentions to implement the Early Learning Program (ELP), now known as Full-Day Kindergarten (FDK) starting in September 2010 with the goal to have FDK fully implemented in all schools across the province by 2014-15. As a result of implementation of this initiative, the current requirement for kindergarten classrooms in most of the facilities across the board will increase. Table 7 indicates the year of implementation of the FDK program at each of the schools in review area. 3 Revised May 25, 2012 using 2012/13 pre-registration data and staffing projections

School Information Profiles The ARC customized the generic School Information Profile template and Board administration completed a School Information Profile for each of the schools in the review area. These School Information Profiles, along with other relevant information were made available to the public on the WRDSB website and in hard copy at each of the schools in the review area. The School Information Profiles consider four perspectives: value to the student, the Board, the community and the local economy. The ARC took the position that all the schools were equal in value in providing its respective elementary education program. The School Information Profiles provided the foundation for discussion and analysis of accommodation options.
Accommodation Review Committee Terms of Reference
Mission The overall purpose of the West Galt ARC “is to conduct an accommodation review of the West Galt Elementary Schools to advise and provide recommendations that will inform the final decision made by the Board of Trustees about the future of student accommodation in the West Galt community of Cambridge.”
Vision The ARC’s vision was “to strengthen the quality of learning experience for students.”
Goals The goals established by the ARC explain what the ARC intends to achieve through the accommodation review process. The six goals are:
• To establish grade configurations that provide the best learning opportunities for students and staff
• To establish sustainable/long-term enrolments that provide equitable learning opportunities for students and staff
• To increase equity of facilities necessary to deliver curriculum and support student achievement
• To establish/maintain facilities and boundaries that are long-term (approx. 10 years), and consider:
West Galt Accommodation Review Committee Accommodation Report
Page 11
o Walking distances (community/neighbourhood-level schools) o Efficiency of transportation o Capacity of schools o Current and future population density and demographics o Proximity to other schools o Impact on feeder and surrounding schools
• To minimize the impact on students where changes are proposed (consideration for grandparenting, phasing, transitions, etc.)
• To improve the long-term opportunity for the Board to make a solid business case for additional capacity funding as residential development plans progress in Cambridge West
Objectives Prior to developing accommodation options, or scenarios, the ARC set the following review objectives, which aim to address the issues identified by the Board, the ARC and members of the public. These objectives are more specific and measureable statements of the goals. They also provide the criteria to evaluate the accommodation options.
• To reorganize the JK-5, 6-8 school organizations in favour of JK-6, JK-8 or 7-8 • To reduce the number of students currently attending Highland P.S. to better
match the enrolment to the schools’ built capacity • To reduce the potential for combined grades at schools by moving towards the
following criteria (from Board Policy 3002): o JK-6 facilities between 350 and 400 students (approx. 2 classes/grade) o JK-8 facilities between 500 and 650 students (approx. 2 classes/grade JK-
6, 2+ classes/grade 7-8) • To increase the number of students within walking distance to their assigned
school • To reduce the reliance on portable classrooms for long-term student
accommodation • To reduce the unused (surplus) capacity by organizing schools and boundaries
to achieve utilization rates (enrolment/capacity) that exceed 80% over the long-term (approx. 10 years)
• To maintain those school buildings that can provide appropriate, purpose-built facilities (kindergarten rooms, gyms, libraries, etc.)
• To reduce the cost to achieve legislated accessibility requirements by 2025 The ARC agreed at the outset that these objectives would be the measure used to evaluate the various scenarios developed as preferred accommodation options for the West Galt review area.

Accommodation Review Committee Recommendations Looking at the entire review area and consulting with key stakeholders, the ARC explored over twenty-three (23) accommodation scenarios for the West Galt Review Area. Due to identified constraints with existing sites and buildings, it became apparent early on in the process that a new facility would be a reasonable long-term solution to accommodate student enrolment in the West Galt area. By the third public meeting of the process, the ARC had settled on a two-stage plan to accommodate students within the West Galt Review Area. Stage 1 consisted of boundary changes to alleviate the immediate enrolment pressures at Highland P.S. until a more comprehensive plan could be put in place. Scenarios 16 and 20 (see Appendix C and D) were presented as the preferred boundary scenarios for Stage 1 at the third public meeting. Scenario 14 (see Appendix E) was presented as Stage 2 or the preferred long-term accommodation solution for the West Galt Review Area. After the third public meeting, further details were sought regarding the feasibility of a JK-8 school of 650 pupil places on a site described in this report as the Beechwood Road site. Although it was considered feasible, the potential constraints on the site were such that it made more sense to look at a smaller school organization. Upon further discussion, the ARC opted to discontinue its discussions about a short-term solution in favor of fast-tracking a variation on the previously proposed long-term solution. The rationale for this decision was a result of the inappropriateness of moving of students to multiple schools over multiple years, and the lack of existing classrooms (capacity) at any of the potential receiving schools within the Review Area. The ARC is therefore recommending Scenario 23 as the accommodation solution for the West Galt Review Area. The boundaries for Scenario 23 are shown on Figure 3 and the enrolment projections can be found in Table 8. Table 9 demonstrates how well the space (classrooms) in the facilities will be used based on the projected enrolment by grade. Further details of Scenario 23 are shown on Appendix A. With particular regard for the review objectives, the ARC agreed that Scenario 23 provided the best solution to address the major issues and concerns in the review area with respect to student accommodation. This conclusion was reached by a majority vote (6-2 in favour; Dianne Ray and Al Potma opposed, Trevor McWilliams abstained) at the May 2, 2012 ARC meeting.

It is important to note that all of the following recommendations are connected, and the ARC recommends that the Board consider the recommendations and chronology (as shown on Appendix B) as a complete solution.
Recommendation #1: Close Dickson Public School The West Galt ARC recommends to the WRDSB that: Dickson Public School be closed and that the JK-5 program be consolidated into Blair Road, Highland, Tait Street and a new school; and that Students enrolled at Dickson P.S. in Grades 3, 4 and 5 the school year prior to its closure be given the option to enrol at either Blair Road, Highland, or Tait Street Public Schools, or at the new school for Grades 4-6; and that Transportation be extended to those Dickson P.S. students to the school of their choosing based on transportation eligibility; and that

New Kindergarten registrants the year prior to the closure of Dickson P.S. be given the option to enrol at either Dickson P.S. or the future receiving school. The ARC struggled with the decision to recommend closing Dickson P.S. It became apparent when developing the issues list in the initial meetings of the ARC that there were challenges at Dickson P.S. both in terms of the facility (site and building) and program (low enrolment). The decision by the ARC to close Dickson P.S. should in no way be seen as a reflection on the quality of past and present staff and students. The school has been operating well with the constraints of the facility and number of students. The community support shown for the school throughout the accommodation review process speaks to the creativity and adaptability of this school community. Due to its site size (0.96 acres) and historical designation, it is not feasible to expand Dickson P.S. (add classrooms) to accommodate additional students. As a result, Dickson P.S. cannot provide any assistance in accommodating enrolment growth in the review area. It is also not feasible to add a gymnasium, expand the library and/or retrofit the Kindergarten rooms, key features that are missing at the school. It is for these reasons, as well as the low enrolment (less than 120 students) that the ARC developed an accommodation solution that does not utilize the Dickson P.S. facility. Concerns were expressed over splitting up the Dickson P.S. students amongst four different schools during the third Public Meeting, especially the older students who have established friendships with classmates. It is for this reason that the ARC is recommending the existing junior elementary students (at the time of the closure) have the option to choose which school they will attend for Grades 4 to 6. This provides the opportunity/choice for friends to remain together regardless of their new home school boundary. This option would not be extended to siblings (families have the option of attending the home school together), and once the decision has been made as to which school the student will attend, that becomes their home school. There would be no option to change again at a later date. Further, the option for new registrants to enrol a year prior to the closure of Dickson P.S. at the receiving school reduces the transitions faced by younger students. The boundaries for the receiving schools have been drawn to maximize the potential for walking, biking, etc. (“active transportation”) to school. This is important as the current Dickson P.S. boundary is entirely walk-in. The Board will need to coordinate with municipal traffic staff to ensure safe routes and crossings to receiving schools. There were also several concerns expressed by community members about what would happen to the Dickson P.S. property once the school closes. The ARC suggests that in order to alleviate concerns about future uses and potential impact on property values, an adaptive reuse study be conducted by the Board in partnership with the City and community members. An adaptive reuse study is a community process to identify suitable options for adapting old structures to new purposes.

Recommendation #2: Construct a new Junior Kindergarten to Grade Six Facility The West Galt ARC recommends to the WRDSB that: A new Junior Kindergarten to Grade Six (JK-6) facility of approximately 350 pupil places be constructed on Beechwood Road, Cambridge, to open as soon as possible; and that The boundary for the new facility include portions of the Dickson, Highland and Tait Street Public School boundaries, as illustrated in Figure 5 ; and that Students entering Grade 5 the year of the change in the affected area be given the option to enrol at either Highland or Tait Street Public Schools, or at the new school for Grades 5-6; and that Transportation be extended to those Grade 5 and 6 students based on transportation eligibility. The property, located at approximately 111 Beechwood Road, Cambridge is currently owned by the WRDSB. It is a 4.7 acre site with a 5.2 acre adjacent municipal park and a Region of Waterloo child care centre (see Figure 4). Currently the WRDSB is using this property as a practice field for Southwood Secondary School; however, historic records indicate this property was originally purchased by the Board for an elementary school. The City of Cambridge Zoning By-Law identifies this site as having N1R5 (institutional and residential) zoning; therefore an elementary school is a permitted use. Originally the ARC looked at using this site to house a JK-8 facility of approximately 650 pupil places. Upon further investigation and discussions with the Board’s Facilities Services Department and City of Cambridge staff, it was determined that although a school of this size could work on the site, it would not be ideal. As a result, the ARC opted to reduce the size of the school to one that would be more appropriate for the site by eliminating the senior elementary program (Grades 7 and 8) as originally discussed. Building a JK-6 elementary school at this location provides needed accommodation to serve the student enrolment coming from the new growth in this area of Cambridge as well as the student population currently transported to Highland P.S. and Tait Street P.S. This location and proposed boundary would maximize the potential for active transportation to school. The Board will need to coordinate with municipal traffic staff to ensure safe routes and crossings to this site. Construction of a new school will be subject to a capital funding request from the Ministry of Education. Using the Ministry’s revised capital funding benchmarks (outlined in Memo 2011:B6), construction costs for the new school would be estimated at $6.5M. Table 10 shows the projected enrolment at the new JK-6 facility.

To alleviate potential concerns over the loss of the Southwood S.S. practice field (as it exists today), the ARC suggests that prior to approving the construction of this JK-6 facility, the WRDSB consult with Southwood S.S. to address any issues that may arise.

Recommendation #3: New boundary for Blair Road Public School The West Galt ARC recommends to the WRDSB that: The Blair Road Public School Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6 boundary be modified as illustrated in Figure 6; and that New Kindergarten registrants in the affected area (as identified in Figure 6) the year prior to the change be given the option to enrol at either Blair Road P.S. or Dickson P.S. for that school year; and that Transportation be extended to those new JK/SK registrants choosing to attend Blair Road P.S. based on transportation eligibility. With the closure of Dickson P.S. and the opening of a new school on Beechwood Road, Blair Road P.S. would expand to include areas currently in the Dickson P.S. and Highland P.S. boundaries. Currently there are no students living in the affected area. The new Blair Road P.S. boundary maximizes the potential for active transportation to school because all streets within the affected area are within 1.6 kilometers of the school. Potential enrolment from the possible future development area, identified on Figure 6 as the “area subject to possible urban expansion” has not been included in the enrolment projections. This area is the identified study area for the Cambridge West Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP). Information provided to the ARC by the City representative indicates there is still uncertainty around when this development could take place and the number of units that may be generated. As a result, potential future enrolment from this area has not been incorporated into the ARC’s recommendations. The ARC agreed that given its isolation to the remainder of the West Galt community, excluding Blair Road P.S., it would be recommended for the Board to consider future student accommodation for this area at a later date, once plans for development materialize. Future changes in this area will have little to no impact on the recommendations being brought forward by the ARC at this time. Table 11 shows the projected enrolment at Blair Road P.S. with the proposed boundary changes. These projections include the students attend Blair Road P.S. for the Special Education area classes (Autism Spectrum Disorder and Learning Disabilities). The capacity of Blair Road P.S. offers some room for any enrolment growth remaining in its boundary.

Recommendation #4: Grade 6 and new boundary for Highland Public School The West Galt ARC recommends to the WRDSB that: A Grade 6 program be added to Highland Public School; and that The Highland Public School Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6 boundary be modified as illustrated in Figure 7; and that New Kindergarten registrants in the affected area (as illustrated in Figure 7) be given the option to enrol at either Dickson P.S. or Highland P.S. the year prior to the boundary change taking place; Transportation be extended to those new JK/SK registrants choosing to attend Highland P.S. based on transportation eligibility. There were several issues identified by the Highland P.S. community throughout this process. Some of the key points they ARC discussed included the following:
• Too many portables on site – students are not being accommodated within the school and the portables are reducing the available space on the play field
• Single gymnasium cannot accommodate all classes for daily physical activity • Students make a transition to St. Andrew’s P.S. at Grade 6, which is not
consistent with the Blair Road P.S. and Tait Street P.S. students who make their transition at Grade 7
Further adding to the enrolment situation is the fact that Highland P.S. is the only school in the review area that offers the Partial French Immersion program, drawing over 100 students a year from outside its local boundary. It is recommended that Highland P.S. continue to offer a Partial French Immersion program, including the addition of Grade 6. Enrolment projections shown on Table 12 assume the continuation of Partial French Immersion at Highland P.S. The ARC also recommends that until the boundary changes take place, the Board cap the number of Grade 1 Partial French Immersion classes to 2, restricting the number out of boundary students from enrolling at Highland P.S. to reduce additional unnecessary pressure placed on the facility. It is also recommended that the Board explore an additional location to offer Partial French Immersion at the new school (Beechwood Rd. site) to reduce the enrolment pressure generated by the program at a single site and to allow the opportunity for additional students to access the program. The School Information Profile identifies that 34% of the students attending Highland P.S. are eligible for transportation. With the new recommended boundary, only Kindergarten students would be eligible for transportation based on distance according
West Galt Accommodation Review Committee Accommodation Report
Page 22
to Board policy because all homes within the boundary are within 1.6 kilometers of the school. Given the facility will continue to be constrained until the implementation of these recommendations, the ARC suggests that the Board consider immediately assigning the yet to be built homes in the development area on the west side of the boundary (development known as Grand Ridge or Highland Ridge Estates) to another school that has space to accommodate this growth. The ARC also recommends that the home school boundary for the areas identified on Figure 5 and Figure 7 as “area subject to change (future development)” be confirmed the year prior to the implementation of Scenario 23 based on building activity area and the enrolment situation in the area at the time. Figure 7: Highland Public School Boundary Recommendation

Page 23
Highland P.S. is currently undergoing an addition for the implementation of the FDK program in September 2012. With the addition the school will have 5 purpose-built Kindergarten rooms and 14 regular classrooms, or an on-the-ground capacity of 431 pupil places. Table 12 shows the enrolment projections for the new Highland P.S. boundary. Table 12: Projected enrolment at Highland P.S. with boundary change

Highland P.S. 431 493 500 505 488 479 475 477
Recommendation #5: New boundary for Tait Street Public School The West Galt ARC recommends to the WRDSB that: The Tait Street Public School Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6 boundary be modified as illustrated in Figure 8; and that Students enrolled at Blair Road P.S. entering Grade 6 the year of the change in the affected area (as identified in Figure 8) be given the option to enrol at either Blair Road P.S. or Tait Street P.S. for that school year; and that Transportation be extended to those Grade 6 students choosing to attend Blair Road P.S. based on transportation eligibility; and that New Kindergarten registrants in the affected area (as identified in Figure 8) the year prior to the change be given the option to enrol at either Blair Road P.S., Dickson P.S. or Tait Street P.S. for that school year; and that Transportation be extended to those new JK/SK registrants choosing to attend Tait Street P.S. based on transportation eligibility. With the closure of Dickson P.S. and opening of a new school on Beechwood Road, the Tait Street P.S. boundary would expand to include areas currently in the Dickson P.S. and Blair Road P.S. boundaries. The new boundary maximizes the potential for active transportation to school because all streets within the City of Cambridge limits are within 1.6 kilometers of Tait Street P.S. The area currently transported to Tait Street P.S. due to distance and safety will be directed to the new school on Beechwood Road. There will be transportation required for the affected area currently in the Blair Road P.S. boundary (including the area known as the Shep’s subdivision or Riverview Settlement area). The length of time on bus may be reduced for these students as Tait Street P.S. is closer (approximately 20 students affected).
West Galt Accommodation Review Committee Accommodation Report
Page 24
The School Information Profile identifies transportation to Tait Street P.S. as an issue. Since the site does not have any street frontage, there is no designated loading zone for buses. Students require adult supervision to walk to/from Grand Ridge Drive and West River Road where the bus loads. The ARC recommends that the Board work with Student Transportation Services of Waterloo Region (STSWR) and the City of Cambridge to explore alternative options and develop a more appropriate long-term solution for transportation to and from Tait Street P.S. Tait Street P.S. is the last school in the review area to implement the Full-Day Kindergarten program. Since there is likely to be classroom construction or conversion required for implementation of this program in 2014, the ARC recommends that the Board take advantage of this opportunity to address the physical accessibility issues at the facility in order to achieve economies of scale in the construction.

Recommendation #6: Grade 7 and 8 only at St. Andrew’s Public School The West Galt ARC recommends to the WRDSB that: St. Andrew’s Public School offer the Grade 7 and 8 program for the review area, with a boundary as shown on Figure 9. The ARC had several discussions around the intermediate/senior elementary school model (Grade 6-8/7-8 schools) understanding that Board Policy 3002 states:
1.3 The Waterloo Region District School Board believes that an elementary JK-8 school configuration represents a program preference to meet curriculum and developmental needs but that consideration must also be given to: 1.3.1 existing facilities, community connections and distance; 1.3.2 existing facilities; 1.3.3 student learning opportunities; 1.3.4 needs of the community; 1.3.5 community growth patterns; 1.3.6 funding, including partnering opportunities.
Initially the ARC explored the possibility of adding Grade 7-8 programs at existing West Galt schools. Given program size considerations and required facility modifications (additions, renovations, etc.), it was not viable to convert one of the existing facilities to a JK-8 school configuration. As a result, the only other option was to build a new facility that could offer JK-8. Since, as previously mentioned in this report, the only available site could not support the size of school required to accommodate the entire Grade 7-8 program for the area, the ARC determined it was necessary to maintain St. Andrew’s P.S. By realigning the school organizations to JK-6 schools feeding to a central Grade 7-8 program at St. Andrew’s P.S. thereby allowing the Grade 6 students to remain at their initial school for one more year better aligns the schools to the divisions and supports student success. Elementary schools are typically organized into divisions – primary, junior and intermediate. The junior division is Grades 4-6 and intermediate Grades 7-8. Teachers from each division work together on Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) assessments and school success plans. When these divisions are broken up between schools, it is more challenging to maintain these success plans. The School Information Profile identifies this facility as requiring some retrofits to bring it up to Association of Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) standards by 2025. Further investigation needs to take place to determine if an elevator is required, or if additional stair lifts can be installed to meet the requirements. The ARC also recognizes that any modifications required to the facility to meet the AODA requirements will be prioritized through the Board’s Accessibility Committee.

It is also recommended that St. Andrew’s P.S. continue to offer the Partial French Immersion program for Grades 7-8. Enrolment projections shown on Table 14 assume the continuation of Grade 7 and 8 Partial French Immersion at St. Andrew’s P.S. Table 14: Projected enrolment at St. Andrew’s P.S. with boundary change

Achieving the Review Objectives As Table 15 shows, Scenario 23 meets all but one of the review objectives. Although the criteria in the objective related to school size is not fully met, the proposed accommodation solution does reduce the possibility of triple combined grades by eliminating school enrolments under 240 students. Table 15: Scenario 23 versus the review objectives Objective Meets Doesn’t
Meet To reorganize the JK‐5, 6-8 school organizations in favour of JK‐6, JK‐8 or 7-8 X To reduce the number of students currently attending Highland P.S. to better match the enrolment to the schools' built capacity X To reduce the potential for combined grades at schools by moving towards the following criteria (from Board Policy 3002):
• JK‐6 facilities between 350 and 400 students (approx. 2 classes/grade) • JK‐8 facilities between 500 and 650 students (approx. 2 classes/grade JK‐6, 2+ classes/grade 7‐8)
X* X*
To increase the number of students within walking distance to their assigned school X To reduce the reliance on portable classrooms for long-term student accommodation X To reduce unused (surplus) capacity by organizing schools and boundaries to achieve utilization rates (enrolment/capacity) that exceed 80% over the long‐term (approx. 10 years)
X
To maintain those school buildings that can provide appropriate, purpose‐built facilities (kindergarten rooms, gyms, libraries, etc.)
X To reduce the cost to achieve legislated accessibility requirements by 2025 X * Although this objective is not completely met, it is an improvement from the existing situation
Conclusion After nine months of consultation and careful deliberation, the ARC has developed final recommendations that meet the majority of the review objectives. In developing the recommendations, the ARC had a strong focus on what it felt will be the best accommodation solution for current and future students in the review area. The addition of a new school on the Beechwood Road site provides a community school for the growing western portion of the Review Area. The ARC’s recommendations provide the Board with the ability to move forward and address the issues identified at the outset of the review. If the Board does not receive the necessary capital from the Ministry of Education to complete the recommended construction project, the Board will have to determine interim measures to address the overcrowding at Highland P.S. which could include a boundary study at a future date.

BOUNDARIESWest Galt Elementary Schools Accommodation Review
Scenario 23DESCRIPTION- Dickson P.S. closes- A new JK-6 school is built on Beechwood Rd- Boundary changes for Blair Road P.S., Highland P.S. and Tait Street P.S.- St. Andrew's offers only Gr. 7 & 8- Highland P.S. adds Gr. 6
COSTS
Accessibility• Accessibility requirements - Tait Street P.S., St. Andrew’s P.S.
Revenue/Proceeds of Disposition• Potential sale of Dickson P.S. building + property (0.96 acres)
SAVINGS
Accessibility• Accessibility issues at Dickson P.S eliminated
Notes:OTG Capacity = On the Ground Capacity – 2012/13 Ministry of Education assigned loading of students in permanent space in a facility A factor has been applied to each school’s enrolment to account for out of boundary student gains and loses due to magnet pro grams such as French Immersion (FI) and Special Education Area Classes (SpecEd)Enrolment projections are approximations calculated based on the most current information available

Operations• Decrease in number of students requiring transportation
• Elimination of approximately 2-3 urban runs because more students live closer to a JK-6 school (average cost of 72 passenger bus is $32,720/year – urban run estimated at $16,000/year)
Capital Construction Cost• New 350 pupil place school estimated cost = $6.5M
• Based on Ministry of Education funding calculationpupil places x area benchmark x construction cost
350 pupils x 10.02 m2 x $1847.53/m2
• Full-Day Kindergarten addition/renovations at Tait Street P.S. – 2014/15 (subject to Ministry funding)
