HPEDSB SIR MACEKENZIE BOWELL PUBLIC SCHOOL VALUATION FRAMEWORK October 2008 Introduction
On October 31, 2006, the Ministry of Education released the Pupil Accommodation Guidelines (previously
referred to as school closure guidelines). The guidelines direct Ontario school boards on the pupil
accommodation review process to be undertaken to determine the future of a particular school or group of
schools. In response to these guidelines the Hastings Prince Edward School Board Policy No. 15 Student
Enrolment/School Capacity to ensure compliance with the expectations and intent of this guideline.
As part of the accommodation review process, a generic School Valuation Framework is required to assess
each of the following considerations for each school or group of schools being reviewed:
•
Value to the student
•
Value to the school board
•
Value to the community
•
Value to the local economy
The review process will be led by the Accommodation Review Committee (ARC) appointed by the Board and
includes members from the school community and the broader community. The Accommodation Review
Committee may customize the School Valuation Framework to consider additional factors appropriate to the
group of schools (the Accommodation Review Area) under review.
The West Belleville Area Review Committee
The following schools in the Centennial School Group are included in the West Belleville Accommodation
