Parents will get their say over a planned elementary school next to Chinn Park Regional Library in Woodbridge.
A public hearing is scheduled Jan. 7, 2016 to give parents new information about the planned school that aims to relieve overcrowded conditions at other nearby elementary schools.
Here’s more in a press release:
School officials will hold a public meeting on January 7 to discuss the proposed elementary school near Prince William Parkway at Chinn Park. The original meeting date of December 15 was changed to January 7 to allow staff more time to address concerns raised at the first community meeting. The change will also provide additional time for all interested members of the public to become informed, and will introduce additional transparency.
The new school is scheduled to be ready by the start of school in 2018 and relieve overcrowding at Vaughan, Westridge, Marumsco Hills, Kerrydale, Springwoods, and other area schools.
Learn more, provide feedback, and have concerns addressed at this second public meeting hosted by the PWCS Office of Facilities Services.
