Meeting: Proposed Boundary Changes

Public Information Meeting concerning the Proposed Boundary Changes for Garden Avenue Jr. PS, Parkdale Jr. & Sr. PS, Fern Jr. & Sr. PS and Alexander Muir Gladstone Jr. & Sr. PS

Tuesday, September 30, 2014
6:30 – 7:30 P.M.

Garden Avenue Junior Public School
225 Garden Avenue,
Gymnasium

The Toronto District School Board is reviewing the school boundaries for the schools listed above. As part of the decision-making process, we would like to meet with interested members of the community to discuss:


  • Area 1: Overcrowding at Garden Ave. Jr. PS and the proposed boundary change with Parkdale Jr. & Sr. PS to relieve the overcrowding. The area impacted is between Roncesvalles Ave., Marion St., Fuller Ave. and Queen St. W. Garden Ave. Jr. PS is the current JK to Gr. 6 school and Fern Ave. Jr. & Sr. PS is the Gr. 7 & 8 school for this area. The proposal is to redirect this area for JK to Gr. 8 to Parkdale Jr. & Sr. PS.
     
  • Area 2: Realignment of the Gr. 7 & 8 boundary between Fuller Ave., Pearson Ave., East of MacDonell Ave. and Queen St. W. This area currently is in Parkdale Jr. & Sr. PS’s JK to Gr. 6 attendance area and in Fern Ave Jr. & Sr. PS’s area for Gr. 7 & 8. The proposal is to include the Gr. 7 & 8 area in Parkdale Jr. & Sr. PS’s attendance area to eliminate a transition between grades 6 and 7 for students residing in this area.
     
  • Area 3: Eliminate the shared attendance area between Alexander/Muir Gladstone Jr. & Sr PS and Parkdale Jr. & Sr. PS and direct this area to Parkdale Jr. & Sr. PS only.
