School review data and public consultation schedule now available

Details on the public information and consultation process on the school review are now available at Better Learning for All.

The website includes information on the review process, data on each school in the Public Schools Branch, information presented to the board on September 27th, and the public consultation schedule.

The public consultation process includes three sets of public meetings. The purpose of the initial meetings is to present the data on all families of schools, including those that are being reviewed and those that are not. This will ensure that Islanders have the opportunity to understand the data, the issues and the review process.  Following is the schedule:

• Monday, October 3 at 7:30 p.m, Charlottetown Rural Family at Stratford Elementary

• Tuesday, October 4 at 7:30 p.m., Morell/Souris Family at Morell Consolidated

• Wednesday, October 5, at 7:30 p.m., Colonel Gray Family at Spring Park Elementary

• Thursday, October 6 at 7:30 p.m., Kensington/Kinkora Family at Kinkora High School

• Tuesday, October 11 at 7:30 p.m., Westisle Family at Hernewood Intermediate

• Wednesday, October 12 at 7:30 p.m., Montague Family at Vernon River Consolidated

• Thursday, October 13 at 7:30 p.m., Bluefield Family at East Wiltshire

• Thursday, October 20 at 7:30 p.m., Three Oaks Family at Summerside Intermediate

A second set of public meetings will be held in November to allow the public to provide input on viable options for change, for those schools under review. 

A third set of meetings will be held once the recommendations are developed, in accordance with the School Change Policy which requires 60 days of public input on the recommendations.

The public will also have opportunities to provide input online, in person and through written submissions. More information will be shared as the full consultation process is developed.
