Board approves final North Dufferin Boundary Review recommendations
GUELPH, Ontario – Upper Grand District School Board trustees have approved a number of recommendations regarding the board’s North Dufferin Boundary Review and French Immersion Feasibility Study.
The review has been underway since August 30, 2016. Its purpose was to resolve immediate overcrowding concerns at Princess Elizabeth PS and Mono Amaranth PS and confirm the viability of an FI program in North Dufferin.
An FI Feasibility Study was completed and at the Board meeting on October 25, 2016, trustees approved the start of FI in North Dufferin effective September 2017.
At the November board meeting, trustees approved a number of recommendations related to the North Dufferin Boundary Review, including the approval of the Option 1 – Modified Implementation Plan, which involves the establishment of a FI program at Centennial Hylands ES, effective September 2017.
The modified plan also involves reassigning a number of Regular Track students to Primrose Elementary School. The modified option reflects a more gradual implementation of boundary changes for both Regular Track and French Immersion students.
