Oakville NE #1 HS Boundary Review

Boundary Review Background

The motion, as presented in Board Report 250122 is as follows:

BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Board of Trustees direct staff to initiate and complete a boundary review for SRA 201 South of Dundas Oakville (formerly SRA 102 and 103) and SRA 202 North of Dundas Oakville (Formerly SRA 108) to establish a new secondary school boundary for the new Oakville NE #1 Secondary School and to review the distribution of the French Immersion Programs.

Objectives of this Boundary Review

At the November 4, 2025 Board meeting, HDSB Trustees approved a motion to initiate a boundary review process to create the boundary for Oakville NE #1 HS (SRA 202). The initiation of this boundary review seeks to achieve the following actions:

1. Create a new boundary for the Oakville NE #1 HS, currently holding at White Oaks Secondary School;
2. Realign the French Immersion Boundaries for school facilities south of Dundas, and consider whether a new FI program at the new school is warranted;
3. Review the viability of the secondary French Immersion program at T.A. Blakelock High School, as enrolment and participation have been decreasing year over year; and, 
4. Consider the long-term accommodation needs of the Board, and what initiatives could be housed at the White Oak Secondary School North Campus.
