School board to hold community feedback sessions on boundary review

Avon Maitland District School Board will be engaging with the public and looking for feedback soon on the Stratford and Area Boundary Review.

The Stratford and Area Boundary Review Committee is ready to get public feedback regarding possible boundary adjustment scenarios within Stratford. A release from AMDSB notes that while adjustments to every school is unlikely, all schools in the region are being consulted.

Anyone interested in submitting feedback can complete an online survey. The deadline is February 15. Paper copies of surveys are available in school offices, for those that prefer an alternative format.

In addition, an open house is being hosted to showcase the report content, including large maps and other details. Parents can drop in anytime between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Monday, January 29 to the Stratford District SS cafeteria to view the report content and ask any questions.

“The feedback will be consolidated by the consultant and a report with the options, recommendations and community feedback will be provided to the SABRC. With this information in hand, the SABRC will propose which scenarios staff should take forward to AMDSB Trustees," explained Cheri Carter, Superintendent of Corporate Services with AMDSB. "The Trustees will then decide what is best for the school board, while understanding the needs and opinions of the school communities.”
