Public School Plans

The Avon Maitland School Board invited comments on its June 2006 capital plan. The plan indicates the need for the following expenditures over the next 10 years:

Central PS - $2.48 million on the building, $122,858 at the site
Arthur Meighen PS - $2.14 million building, $264,703 site.

The Board assumes enrollment will decline by 4% at Central and 13% at Arthur Meighen.

September 5 Central's School Council made various suggestions on how to improve its school.

June 14 Arthur Meighen's School Council recommended its school be closed; Grades 7 and 8 moved to the High School; land next to the High School be annexed where a new K-6 school be built.

In the official plan, the current location of Arthur Meighen is adjacent to where hundreds of new houses will be constructed.
