The Halton District School Board will host a public meeting about the Burlington Secondary School Program and Accommodation Review (PAR) on Thursday, December 8, 2016. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. at the New Street Education Centre, 3250 New Street, Burlington.
The meeting is open to the public, however, to assist with planning for this meeting, we request that parents, students, community members pre-register. Pre-registration will provide more accurate attendance numbers for organizing the meeting.
The Pre-Registration Form is posted on the Halton District School Board website. The focus of this public meeting will be to gather individual input on the framework, which is organized around the following four themes:
Theme 1: Programming and Enrolment
Theme 2: Physical state of existing schools
Theme 3: Geographical and transportation issues
Theme 4: Fiscal responsibility and future planning
The meeting will be interactive. A presentation from the Board will be followed by a questionnaire divided into four 20-minute segments focusing on a distinct topic. Each attendee may offer input through use of an electronic ‘clicker’. Each segment will conclude with a discussion.
