The Grand Erie District School Board is looking at the possibility of enacting a School Boundary Review in Norfolk North West.
The biggest issue being the growth in Waterford, and the sheer amount of projected students over the years.
The Review would involve Bloomsburg Public School, Boston Public School, Delhi Public School, Teeterville Public School, Waterford Public School, and Waterford District High School.
Right now, Waterford Public School is currently overcapacity and is utilizing 6 portable classrooms to accommodate its enrolment.
Continued development within the town is expected to yield an additional 120 elementary students for Grand Erie in the next ten years putting further pressure on the Waterford Public School site and facility.
This is in contrast to surplus capacity at other elementary schools in the review area, as well as at Waterford District High School.
Grand Erie applied for funding for a six-classroom addition at the public school in Waterford but it was denied.
More information should be available following the June 27th Board Meeting.
