The deadline looms for members of the public who wish to register to speak on the subject of secondary school consolidation by the Near North District School Board.
Those who wish to speak at next Tuesday’s Committee of the Whole will need to register with the board office by noon on Friday.
The NNDSB invites the public to submit comments to [email protected]. Any received comments will be compiled and presented to the Board of Trustees at next Tuesday’s meeting, scheduled for 6:00pm.
The Board of Trustees will re-vote on the secondary school consolidation at the Regular Board Meeting on September 24, beginning at 6:00pm.
The Near North District School Board says it has begun implementing the recommendations contained in the Ombudsman’s Final Report. In addition to a number of recommendations for improved process and governance, the following recommendation was identified with respect to the Secondary School Consolidation:
“The Near North District School Board should prepare a new final staff report that explains the additional information received in the summer of 2017 and that was discussed in private in September 2017. It should present the report to trustees as part of a public meeting, afford community members an opportunity to comment on it, and then take a new vote on the secondary school consolidation.”
The new final staff report and attached documentation were presented to the Board of Trustees at a Special Committee of the Whole meeting on August 19. The report along with the Initial and Final Staff Report regarding the Secondary School Consolidation can be accessed here.
