I~I The Canadien Champion, Frlday, May 7, 1999 - 9 Sehool closure decisions on hold for now: public board By DENNIS SMITH Special ta The Champion The dreaded scisool closure lista have been put on ice for as least a few montis by tise Halton District Scisool Board. The bsoard bas put its scisool closure policy for elernentary scisools on bold until Jtsne, 2000. And it bas put ita secondary achool accommodation management commit- tee on hiatus until next September. Oskville Trustee Deishie Marklew urged shelving ciosure and accommo- dation revïews to stop "the pain and anguisis" of communities affected. "My main concemt is that according to tise policy, staff would have to bring back a (closure) liat of elementary scisools by tisis lune," aise noted. "We've just completed a look at this policy and I don't lisink it will tum out any differentiy." 'Me board recently voted against a proposai to close three eiementary scisools - Chsamplain and Fairfield in Burlington and Oakwood in Oakville. The board was considening closing achools at botis elementary and sec- ondary levels to obtain provincial funding for new scisools. Ms Marklew isas srgued since tise board isn't willing to close scisools, furtiser staff and trustee time sisouldn't be wasted on formaI accommodation reviews. Milton Trustee Erica Andrew agreed. "It's juat expensive and ineffi- cient and a waste of time and money at this point." But Burlington Trustee Michael Ellis said it would be uaeftsl ta review- îng secondary scisool accommodation. "I think it' s a completely différent issue." Mr. Ellis has argued secondary scisools are more flexible in tiseir usage and studenta nreding busing are older tbtan elementa-y pupils. Oakville trustee Lysin Roberts made a motion to put tise board's secondary accommodation management commit- tee on hiatus until September. She said the board needs firsi to examine the upcorning C.N. Watson consultants' report, plus staff and strategic vision reporta. "Unitil we have these tbings done, we haven't givesi tise committee much direction," said Ms Roberts. "«We have serious issues to look at." Superintendent AI Greyson saîd a preview of tise consultant's planning report and projections hss just arrived and is being exsminied by staff.
