[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This makes sense, who knows when it would happen but think in the next 3-5 years. I’d imagine they may try to do them one region at a time.

I’d imagine priorities would be to reduce split articulations created by these two studies, reduce overcrowding at schools like Ashburton with shifts to schools that have capacity, and utilize underenrolled schools to absorb smaller very old schools (eg Coldspring would could be accommodated by several current Wootton ES, Wayside and/or Beverly Farms ES.

Also makes sense to tighten the boundaries of elementary schools which in some cases are quite large and could probably be improved.

The Ashburton overcrowding is out of control and I hope it will be addressed soon. Current situation = students sitting on the floor of classrooms due to lack of seats and 3-4 year waitlist for onsite aftercare. Meanwhile, Seven Locks ES is underutilized (80.3%) and many of the apartments/condo complexes near the mall which are currently zoned for Ashburton are actually closer to Seven Locks. Though I doubt such a rezone would happen because they feed into different high schools. [/quote]

They should have done a full boundary study for the whole system from ES to HS. It's not like they didn't know this opportunity would come.[/quote]

They were too busy paying McKnight $1m not to work[/quote]
