Board Highlights - April 28, 2020
The April 28, 2020 Board meeting was held electronically through Google Hangout Meet.
Closure of Leslieville School K-7 Program
During the construction phase of the new schools planned in Condor and Leslieville, all students will be located in David Thompson High School. It is more efficient to operate two distinct schools, instead of all three schools as eventually all K-6 students will be transferred to the new Condor Elementary School and all grade 7-12 students will be transferred to the new high school located in Leslieville. Therefore the Board made a motion to close the Leslieville K-7 program as it will no longer be needed after the end of the 2019-2020 school year.

David Thompson Replacement High School Upgrades
