School Sustainability Review & Schedule of Public Consultations
by  i:0#.f|nbedldapmembershipprovider|ray.simpsonNo presence information  on 2/24/2015 11:06 AM

​

At the February 11, 2015 ASD-S District Education Council (DEC) meeting, Council passed a motion to advise the Minister of Education & Early Childhood Development, that they intend to study School Sustainability for Brown’s Flat School and Norton Elementary School. This allows the DEC, under the Department’s Policy 409 - Multi Year School Infrastructure Planning - to begin the public consultation process to gather community and stakeholder input to the recommendation.
 
 
SCHOOL SUSTAINABILITY REVIEW and
SCHEDULE OF PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS 

 

 
 
Under Policy 409, the DEC will hold two public information sessions at each school. The initial meetings were held in March 2015 to deliver the proposal to the public and to allow the DEC and staff to explain the process involved in a Policy 409 review and be available to answer questions about the process. The second meetings will allow the public an opportunity to make a presentation to the DEC. This can include feedback, questions or other options for the school.
 

The second meeting at Brown’s Flat School is scheduled for Tuesday, April 7 at 7:00 pm

The second meeting at Norton Elementary is scheduled for Tuesday, April 14 at 7:00 pm

 

Everyone is welcome to attend, and encouraged to do so. If you wish to make a presentation at the second meeting at either school, please contact Clare Murphy at clare.murphy@gnb.ca or call 658-5325 to register your name. Throughout this process, written feedback can be submitted via email to: asds.schoolreview@gnb.ca or you may send a letter to the attention of Robert Fowler, Chair, District Education Council, 490 Woodward Avenue, Saint John, NB E2K 5N3. The third and final meeting will be a District Education Council session scheduled for Wednesday, April 29th at 7:00 pm at the Saint John Education Centre, 490 Woodward Avenue when a final decision will be made on the sustainability of Norton Elementary & Brown’s Flat schools.
