As you know, the APA held a meeting for Allenby parents on Thursday, December 15th to discuss various potential processes that may be rolled out by the TDSB in the new year to address the existing over-crowding at Allenby and to deal with the need to find space for full-day kindergarten, which will arrive at Allenby in 2014-2015.
At the meeting we:
- advised parents that we understand this Fall the TDSB Staff have begun internal discussions regarding space accommodation issues at Allenby and other schools;
- informed parents about the various potential TDSB processes available if the TDSB were to move forward and address this issue;
- re-assured parents that if the TDSB wished to move ahead with any changes there will be opportunity for parent and community feedback before any decisions were made, and
- most importantly, asked parents who may wish to engage in any such process, as either a member of a committee or as a leader, to come forward and let us know.
We continue to encourage any parents who wish to lead or be a part of a committee to respond to any process that the TDSB may put in place to contact Lisa and Rochelle: APACommunityAwareness@yahoo.ca by January 15, 2012. If you are interested, please include in your email whether your children are in the English or French Immersion tracks or both. We want to ensure a representation from both tracks and we are aiming to have the committee represent all stakeholders in the Allenby parent body. We need to hear from you!
