Pupil Accommodation Review Policy(S.09)
The Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School board is responsible for providing schools and facilities for its students and for operating and maintaining its schools as effectively and efficiently as possible to support student achievement.
HAMILTON CENTRAL ACCOMMODATION REVIEW COMMITTEE
School Board FundingEffects of Declining Enrolment
School boards are funded by the Provincial Government based on actual student enrolment
The Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board is facing the challenges of declining enrolment across the city
Some schools are not or will not be viable based on declining enrolment
Grade structures and the reduction of teaching staff make it difficult for the Board to accommodate the needs of all students. (triple grades)
HAMILTON CENTRAL ACCOMMODATION REVIEW COMMITTEE
For the Board to sustain and offer appropriate services for program delivery, special education, co-curricular activities as well as responsible, cost efficient facilities, schools in areas of significant declining enrolment – with lower utilization levels or higher per pupil operating costs, need to be reviewed and considered for possible closure/consolidation.
