Description and Analysis

St. Agatha Catholic Elementary School (CES) would close and students would

move to Holy Rosary CES and St. Clement CES effective September 2017.

Utilization at Holy Rosary and St. Clement would improve and no portables

would be required.

Attendance boundaries could be maintained beyond 5 years because excess

space would still exist within St. Clement and Holy Rosary to allow for flexibility.

Students would have greater opportunities for larger age-appropriate social

groups by attending a larger school.

Students would have greater potential for program options with a larger school

staff.

St. Clement is part of the St. David school family whereas St. Agatha and Holy

Rosary are part of the Resurrection school family. Secondary boundaries will have

to be adjusted accordingly.

Students would be divided between two schools and some students living within

the Township of Wilmot would be bussed to a city school.

St. Agatha students bussed to St. Clement could experience a decreased ride time

of up to 20 minutes, and students bussed to Holy Rosary could experience an

increase in ride time of up to 30 minutes (2015-2016 data).
