A boundary review for students in North Perth is being conducted by the Avon Maitland District School Board.
A release from AMDSB confirms that the Board of Trustees have approved the launch of a boundary review in the North Perth area.
This process involves "examining the current school boundaries at the Board’s schools in Listowel and the surrounding area to determine how the boundaries might be adjusted to alleviate enrolment pressures. A school boundary is the attendance boundary that determines which students will attend each school depending on where they live," according to the release.
The boundary review process is underway and will conclude next spring.
At the end of the review, board trustees will consider a report with options, recommendations and community feedback and decide what is best for the school board, while understanding the needs and opinions of the school communities.
“It is important that we try to balance and equalize enrolments between schools, especially if there are some schools that have too many students relative to its size, while other schools have excess space. As the enrolment continues to grow at an accelerated pace in this area, we are once again returning to the community to seek feedback on how we might accommodate this growth," said Superintendent Cheri Carter.
