Final Public Meeting for the Paisley and Chelsey Accommodation

Review - 7:00 pm on January 17, 2017 at Chesley District Community School

Our Accommodation Review Committee and the Support Paisley Central School Group have provided the BWDSB with many viable proposals throughout this Accommodation Review process. Our school has the unwavering support of our community members and businesses, and our volunteers have been working countless hours to ensure that our school and our children stay where they belong – in our community.
The Municipality of Arran-Elderslie has made a generous proposal to the Board to  lease classrooms and provide school maintenance assistance, in order to reduce surplus space and increase revenue for the Board. The County of Bruce has demonstrated strong support for our school and community, and is facilitating a Peer Review of the outdated Watson Report.
Paisley is experiencing significant population and economic growth and will continue to do so with the influx of workers and their families to our area.
Our MPP, Bill Walker, has brought a petition to Queens Park on our behalf, signed by hundreds of people from across Ontario, asking for a moratorium on school closures. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture, the Ontario Alliance Against School Closures, CUPE, and countless municipalities and counties throughout the province are asking for the same.
During this Accommodation Review process, at times the Board has not appeared to follow their own policies with regards to transparency and engagement with the community. (BP 3101-D)
Please plan to attend the Final Public Meeting of this Accommodation Review to support both Paisley Central School and Chesley District Community School, and to hear the proposals and information provided by our community members.
