While not everyone will be happy with the outcome, the Halton District School Board has chosen the boundaries for a new public school in northeast Oak- ville.

The decision also has Oo- denawi Public School be- coming a single-track En- glish school, Sunningdale Public School undergoing French Immersion bound- ary changes and there will be the creation of a new to- be-determined area and re- moval of development from study totals. Boundaries for English students at the new school will be North Park Boule- vard/Dundas Street to the south, Burnhamthorpe Road to the north, Neyaga- wa Boulevard/Sixth Line to the west and Trafalgar Road to the east. The French Immersion boundaries will be Dundas to the south, Burnham- thorpe to the north, Neyaga- wa to the west and Trafal- gar to the east.

We believe in walk-to-We believe in walk-to-W schools and we believe it is important to limit the num- ber of moves a student has to make in their school ca- reer," said Amos. The board's 2017-18 long- term accommodation plan (LTAP) noted the primary reason for the new school was to accommodate new growth north of Dundas, as well as to provide accommo- dation relief to River Oaks and Oodenawi public schools. It also acknowledged the need in the North East Oak- ville Secondary Plan for a total of six elementary schools -- Oodenawi, Oak- ville northeast No. 2 and four more proposed sites.four more proposed sites.f While Superintendent of Education Colette Ruddock acknowledged option 14D offered "some solutions," particularly to the parents of French Immersion stu- dents at Oodenawi, it didn't meet the top three criteria identified by the Boundary Review Committee (BRC).Review Committee (BRC).R "It does not relieve the enrollment pressures at Oo- denawi.
