The public provided feedback on the Milton SW #1 hs Boundary review from September 29 to October 5, 2020.
The Director's Report (Report 20103) including the recommended boundary changes (Scenario 9b) was received by the Board of Trustees on October 21st, 2020 for information and approved on November 4th, 2020.
A subsequent information report (Report 20123) was presented to the Board of Trustees outlining the implications of the delayed opening of Milton SW #1 High School opening to a mid-year opening for the 2021-22 school year.
A summary of the implementation plan on Option 9b of the Milton SW #1 HS Boundary Review transition plan in light of the delayed opening:
Temporary accommodations options
As Milton SW #1 HS will not be ready for September 2021, temporary accommodation options are being explored to house students in the interim until the facility obtains full or partial occupancy as early as February 2022.
The accommodation plan would entail the installation of twelve (12) portables on-site and the identification of an area within the partially completed school that is suitable for use as student accommodation, staff and students washroom facilities, and administrative space among other elements.
The second interim accommodation option would be to hold Milton SW #1 HS students temporarily at Milton District HS incorporating a 'school within a school' model. Milton SW #1 students would be accommodated in their classroom with their high school peers and their teachers. Milton SW#1 administration will be there to support the learning environment.
