DCDSB Oshawa Program and Boundary Study Updates

Posted On Thursday April 13, 2023

Dear Parents, Guardians and Caregivers:

We are writing to share updates about the Durham Catholic District School Board’s Oshawa Program and Boundary Study. We greatly appreciate the feedback that our Catholic learning community has submitted to date.

We are pleased to share new videos and supporting materials that have been created to summarize the in-person information and to show the potential implications for each school in Oshawa for the boundary and program study. These videos and presentations can be viewed on our webpage, or in the table below:

Durham Catholic District School Board is committed to an open and transparent process that allows for public input through a variety of means. We scheduled a series of public meetings that were led by a committee comprised of staff and Catholic School Council representatives from each DCDSB school in Oshawa. The committee has been meeting regularly since November 2022 to review options and gather information that has been shared with the communities for input. 

We will be hosting an additional virtual public meeting to present the final options under consideration and to offer our parents, guardians and caregivers the opportunity to ask questions and provide input. This is in addition to the previous in-person public meetings that have already taken place.

If you require accessible accommodations to participate in this public meeting, please contact Lori Jones at 905-576-6150 Ext. 22238 in advance of the meeting so that appropriate arrangements can be made. 

Through this series of public meetings, board staff will compile considerations and recommendations to bring to the June 19, 2023 Regular Board meeting. 

If you are unable to attend the public meeting, a webpage has also been established to share information related to the boundary review: www.dcdsb.ca/boundaryreviews. Parents, guardians and caregivers are encouraged to submit their feedback and ask any questions through the feedback form available on the boundary review webpage. 

We look forward to working with you at the upcoming meeting. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

Sincerely,
