programming in all schools?

How are enrolment projections developed?
The Long Term Accommodation Plan (LTAP) is an annually-reviewed planning tool that:
• provides enrolment projections; and • guides accommodation planning for a 10-year period.
Enrolment projections are based on a variety of factors including progression factors from feeder schools, new residential developments, etc.

CURRENT SITUATION: Program Delivery
Program can be impacted by a number of factors, including: • Availability of required courses • Ability to schedule courses so students can access them • Variety of course types, pathways • Variety of optional area courses • Variety of out of classroom activities (e.g., extracurriculars) • Access to supports and services for learning

Benefits: Large Schools

Benefits: Small Schools
• Higher ratio of service staff (e.g., Guidance, Special Education, Library) to students (increased cost to the Board) •Generally, staff are able to get to know students better

Where do we go from here?
• Program and Accommodation Reviews (PAR) are undertaken by school boards to seek innovative solutions that may resolve our programming and accommodation challenges.
• Reviews can affect one school or a group of schools.
• Extensive public consultation is mandated by the Ministry of Education* in this review.
* Ministry refers to these reviews as “Pupil Accommodation Reviews”

Reasons for Program and Accommodation Review
Two of the criteria required to undertake a PAR process were met: 1. The school or group of schools has experienced or will experience
declining enrolment where the On The Ground (OTG) utilization rate is below 65%;
2. Reorganization involving the school or group of schools could enhance program delivery and learning opportunities for students;
