Re: Adjusting Boundaries between D. Roy Kennedy P.S.
and Knoxdale P.S. for Middle French Immersion Students
Trustee Lange has given notice that she will move as follows at the 17 December
2001 Board meeting:
Whereas it is the intention of the OCDSB to facilitate access to the French Immersion
programs it offers;
Whereas some students are travelling unnecessarily long distances to reach their
designated MFI program, ie. the present boundary between the two programs, the
Queensway, requires students living within a block of D. Roy Kennedy P.S. (DRK) to travel
up to 8 km to Knoxdale for their program;
Whereas the MFI program at Knoxdale, established in 1999, is a vibrant program now
attracting more students than DRK;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the southern boundary for the D. Roy Kennedy MFI
attendance area be changed from the Queensway to Baseline Road between Woodroffe and
the CNR Rail Line.
