Cclebmlc biodiversity in your own backyard with _ theâ€" fourth annual Dandelion Festival May 6 at Waterloo Park. Annual festival in Waterloo Park celebrates the dandelion Such can be said for stuâ€" dents at Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo vocational and collegiate institute (KCI), which, along with Cameron Heights colleâ€" giate institute and Eastwood collegiate _ institute _ in Kitchener and Gailt colleâ€" giate, Glenview Park colleâ€" giate and Southwood colleâ€" giate in Cambridge, are now under review for potential closing in 2006. Smith said the board is looking at consolidating three of the Kitchener schools into two, which means one closure. As KCI services a number of students from Waterloo, closing the school would have a definite impact on where its current feeder eleâ€" mentary schools send their students. While Smith wouldn‘t say how high KCI is on the list for potential closing, he did say the 146â€"yearâ€"old facility "Opening a new school is always good news and wellâ€" received," he said. "But changing boundaries can be a problem for people who don‘t want to leave where they are." In the long run, Smith said these changes will be of benefit, considering â€" the level of growth the city is now experiencing, especially in its suburban areas. However, he also said the board realizes there will be some people who will be unhappy with the proposed changes. Continued from page 1 Corresponding with the boundary changes, one of the measures Smith said the board will propase is to close WCI‘s Northdale: campus which, _ he â€" said, _ now accounts for about 240 pupil places. "By doing so, we will be closer to the school‘s built capacity without affecting the WCI campus as we know it," he said. reduce these sizes Future of Waterloo schools uncertain 1 Ey Mn i s e unds t dn n t t c nc id lt d sn h oo c n «mtade‘s and Volwe Car Enancial Servces Canada ar approved credt to qualited »etail customers anly Example fease on a 2001 Vc 560. $499 04 prs month: 4§manth tre= Monthly payments toral $23 954.

But in doing so, we have to address the needs of the entire community." Smith also emphasized that no decision, whether it be to close a school or to shift boundaries, will be made without a full public consultation process. But, Smith said, the same question would also apply to the other schools under review. "I‘m not picking sides here," he said. "But if we think about our core mandate, we are to think about what‘s best for our students and provide facilities that are up to date with technology links.
