Oshawa Program and Boundary Study Feedback Form
Please note that the feedback form will be available until Friday, June 2, 2023. This will allow staff time to review and prepare a report to present to the Board of Trustees at the Regular Board Meeting on June 19, 2023.
On January 24, 2022, the Board of Trustees received the Long-Term Accommodation Plan 2022-2026 (LTAP) report and approved the guiding principles and actions to be undertaken. Within the LTAP report, staff were directed to undertake an Oshawa program and boundary study, with recommendations for any potential changes to be identified for a community consultation and implementation review (any potential outcomes would be subject to the provision of new PARG guidelines from the Ministry of Education, and the removal of the current moratorium). The study would help to address potential program and service delivery models at one or more Durham Catholic District School Board schools in Oshawa which are being impacted by the increased growth in north Oshawa, and due to the Ministry of Education announcement in July of 2020 to replace Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School with a Grade 7-12 school.
At the June 20, 2022, Regular Board Meeting Trustees approved the proposed boundary program and boundary “in-principle” recommendations to bring to the Oshawa families of schools for community consultation during the 2022-23 school year. Below are the scenarios that are being considered:
Busing implications of the changes would be determined in accordance with the Student Transportation Policy PO429.
We have created an interactive boundary map to view the proposed attendance area configurations. To navigate this map, please:
To provide feedback on these proposed options, please use the Oshawa Program and Boundary Study Feedback Form, or email us at planning@dcdsb.ca.
Through a series of public meetings, board staff will compile considerations and recommendations to bring to the June 19, 2023 Regular Board meeting.
The public meetings will be led 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 will be shared with the communities for input.
The Durham Catholic District School Board is committed to an open and transparent process that allows for public input through a variety of means. Public meetings have been scheduled on the dates below to present the options under consideration and to offer our parents and guardians the opportunity to ask questions and provide input.
