Decision

At a Board meeting May 28, 2012, Trustees passed and ratified a motion regarding the West Area Accommodation Review.

The West Area Review decision will seek, as its preferred option, to build a new $25-million secondary school on the Highland site to open for September 2015, and close Highland and Parkside in June 2015. If this new school option is exhausted, the Board will pursue $15 million in extensive renovations to Highland before closing Parkside secondary in June 2014 and realigning catchment boundaries with Highland for September 2014.
