SCS Home > Schools > Accommodation Review

The Sudbury Catholic District School Board is committed to providing a full range of educational opportunities equitably distributed across a broad and diverse geographical area. Due to ever-changing factors such as mobile population, changes in funding, new legislation, changing in educational objectives, community aspirations and physical limitations of buildings, the Board is mitigated to monitor and evaluate all schools on a regular basis.

The evaluation of schools identified by the Board as being “Under Review” is conducted by an Accommodation Review Committee whose membership is drawn from the school and broader community.

The mandate of the ARC will be to study, report and make recommendations on accommodation options respecting the groups of schools under review. The ARC will be responsible for the School Valuation Framework, public information and access, community consultation and public meetings, and providing a final School Valuation Report and Recommendations to the Director of Education for presentation to the Board of Trustees with recommendations for their consideration and decision.

Please direct any questions you may have regarding the Accommodation Review process to arc@sudburycatholicschools.ca or 673-5620 ext.325

2008/2009 Accommodation Review: South/Central Planning Area
In 2008/2009 the South/Central family of schools underwent accommodation review. In May 2009, trustees voted to create a new 550 pupil place, “dual track,” quality teaching and learning environment in the City’s South End. The new school will also include a Multi-Media Technology Plaza based on an education village model, one-site, JK to Grade 12 campus. Trustees also voted in favour of closing four south end schools (St. Christopher, St. Theresa, Corpus Christi, and St. Michael Catholic Schools). The motion to close the four schools, three of which are PTR Schools (Prohibitive to Repair), allows the Board to apply for Ministry funding to renovate St. Francis Catholic School and to build this new school. Current students from St. Christopher and all of the Grade 7 and 8 students from St. Francis and St. David Elementary Catholic Schools will be consolidated into the “new green school” on the St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School site. Current students from St. Michael Catholic School will be consolidated into the St. Francis Catholic School (JK to Grade 6). St. Theresa and Corpus Christi Catholic School students will have the option of attending either St. Francis Catholic School or the new school (flexible boundaries). However, once the transition of the current students of Corpus Christi and St. Theresa is completed to either the new school or St. Francis, new boundaries will apply to new families. Trustees also voted in favour of renovating St. David Catholic School with regular JK to Grade 6 programming to include further community partnerships focusing on a holistic service model to serve the needs of this community.
