The public information and consultation process includes three sets of public meetings. The purpose of the initial meetings is to present the data and ensure people have good opportunities to understand the data, the issues and the school review process.

A second set of public meetings will be held in November to provide an opportunity for the public to provide input on viable options for change.
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.
