KEY CONSIDERATIONS

• Increase for Secondary FI – Existing or New Site• LFI Growth – New Site and Boundary for Sec FI

School• EFI – Target Growth and Impact to Sec FI Capacity

FOR FUTURE MEETINGS

• Model – 1/2K, Single-Track/Dual-Track, Annex-Main• Location Factors – Demand, Availability of Space,

Excess Demand by Catchment

Today’s Task

• Overall Challenge– to provide guiding principles for this review– must provide sufficient direction for facilities selection in summer

• 4 Basic Steps1. understand the current situation – complete today2. what programs need to be considered?

– early FI? Intake at grade 1? late FI? intensive French? others?

3. establish growth targets- do we want to grow? to what #s? sustainable at those #s?

4. implementation considerations – single vs. dual track? Boundary adjustments? impact on other

programs? enrolment procedures? waitlists? Etc . . .
