Future Considerations
The CCRSB Long Range Outlook (LRO) provides an extensive amount of information on CCRSB, its
schools and the greater educational community. The contents provide a solid starting point for
discussion, planning and consultation regarding possible challenges facing individual schools and a
group of associated schools.
The CCRSB Long Range Outlook will be used to support future processes including provision of
various education programs, capital construction requests (new schools and renovations), school
boundary reviews, and school reviews. It will also provide the foundation for communication and
engagement with school communities, School Advisory Councils, staff, municipalities and other
stakeholders. This could indicate the challenges being faced that will need consideration by all
parties in the future.
In previous school review processes, the Chignecto-Central Regional School Board has considered
determining factors in regard to potentially identifying a school(s) for further review. These
included such factors as enrolment projections, capacity utilization, operating costs and facilities
ability to support the public school program. These can be seen in Appendix H.
The new school review process will allow both the school board and the community opportunities
to discuss the future of education delivery for a group of schools. It is the intent of the CCRSB to
utilize the information contained in the Long Range Outlook to revisit the previous determining
factors for identifying possible schools leading to a Recommendation to Review, as outlined in the
2015 Nova Scotia Department of Education and Early Childhood Development School Review Policy.
The context of Policy Directive A in the 2015 School Review Policy indicates how the information in
the Long Range Outlook could be utilized leading to schools reviews. From the provincial document
this could include:

a school or group of schools is unable to, or projected to be unable to, provide a suitable and
equitable range of learning opportunities for students, due to declining enrolment;

reorganization involving a school or group of schools could enhance program and learning
opportunities for students;

reorganization involving a school or group of schools could optimize use of school facilities
across the school board;

a school’s combination of teaching or learning spaces is not suitable to provide programs/is
not accessible/does not serve the community, and retrofitting and/or enlarging the facility
may be cost prohibitive;
July 8, 2015
20

one or more of the schools in a group is experiencing higher building maintenance expenses
than average for the school board and/or is in need of major capital improvements; and,

safety and/or environmental concerns are associated with the building.
It is evident from the information contained in the LRO that the Board requires strategies to address
excess program capacity and underutilized space in the context of prioritizing resource allocation as
it relates to all CCRSB schools and students. It is important to note that school catchment areas as
related to student and community demographics and associated transportation requirements
should be explored. CCRSB does intend to begin the formulation of a Boundary Review Policy
regarding school catchment areas and procedures that clearly articulates a proactive, fair and
consultative Boundary Review process.
CCRSB will continue to communicate with schools and school communities to develop a better
understanding of the information in this document and how it can be used to identify and support
needs for each of the feeder systems outlined in this document. This LRO document will be updated
annually with some of the relevant information, for example student Enrolment, and be reviewed
every five years to include such items as future considerations.
Within this LRO and the process which the Board will be following, the future considerations are
related to a school feeder system. Comments regarding the future considerations similar to above
will be found only under the high school for the feeder system.

Appendix A
NS Department of Education and Early Childhood Development
School Review Policy
The School Review Policy describes the process to be followed by a school board when the
permanent closure of a public school is a possibility. The process as outlined in this policy ensures
that communities are engaged and informed prior to and at every stage during a school review,
and that members of a community are able to contribute to the examination of possible solutions
to identified issues.
This policy can be found at:
http://www.ednet.ns.ca/schoolreview/11028_16Oct2014_School_Review_Policy_EN.pdf

Appendix B
School Capacity Calculation
The calculation of school capacity was provided in the 2015 School Review Policy from the
province. The following is a reproduction of that information.
A capacity value is calculated to establish the maximum acceptable enrolment in a school building
at a given point in time that allows for the effective delivery of the public school program.
Capacity informs long-range facility planning and capital investment. Although approaches to
defining and calculating capacity vary widely across jurisdictions, the following method is
provided to ensure a consistent approach is used across Nova Scotia.
Capacity is defined as total student enrolment based on the full occupancy of spaces that a school
building can accommodate, in order to deliver the public school program.
Capacity
Capacity is one factor which contributes to an overall picture of the situation for an individual
school. Calculation of capacity must take into account what grade levels are served at the school
and the number and type of classrooms or teaching stations. Capacity is also impacted by the size
of the rooms included in the calculation (i.e. larger rooms can accommodate more students).
Portable structures are not part of the permanent structure of a school building and therefore
are not included in the calculation of capacity.
Schools typically contain two general types of teaching spaces, those being either regular,
traditional classrooms or supporting, ancillary spaces, such as rooms for Music, Visual Arts, and
Technology Education. It should be clear when a school board is describing the capacity of a
school what spaces are and are not included in the calculation.
Elementary/Junior High Grade Levels
In elementary and junior high schools, students are grouped into cohorts that remain together
and are generally assigned to a particular teacher and classroom. As a result, when a cohort
leaves their classroom to utilize an ancillary space, the vacated classroom is not “backfilled” by
another cohort. Therefore, in elementary and junior high schools, only regular classrooms are
deemed able to accommodate students and contribute to the capacity calculation.
The following spaces are not included in capacity calculations at the Elementary/Junior High grade
levels: gymnasium, Visual Arts room (and associated storage), Music room (and associated
storage), multi-purpose science lab, production lab, or any former classroom that has been
repurposed to serve as one of these spaces or for another specialty use required by the public
school program.

High School Grade Levels
High schools are not designed and are not scheduled in the same way that elementary and junior
high schools are and therefore require a different calculation in determining capacity.
Given the mobility and schedule flexibility of students in high schools, every program delivery
space, or “teaching station”, whether it is a regular classroom or an ancillary space, can be
occupied simultaneously. Thus, in high schools, the calculation of Program Capacity in a high
school building includes all teaching stations (classrooms plus ancillary spaces), not just
classrooms. Teaching stations will include regular classrooms, labs, rooms for Visual Arts, Music,
Drama and Family Studies, and the gymnasium.

Average Class Size
The determination of average class enrolment will be influenced by the size (square footage) of
existing rooms. Classroom sizes in existing buildings vary widely throughout the province, with
relatively new schools generally at 84 sq.m. (900 sq.ft.), many older schools at approx. 70 sq.m.
(750 sq.ft.), and others approaching the 56-61 sq.m. (600-650 sq. ft.) range.
For planning purposes, the table below reflects student numbers based on an average allotment
of 2.3 sq.m. (25 sq.ft.) per student for classrooms, and 2.8 sq.m. (30 sq.ft.) per student for
laboratories.

The capacity calculation was further defined by DOEECD and school boards to address schools
that were of a Primary to Grade 8 Primary to Grade 9, Grades 7 to 12 and Primary to Grade 12.
For these schools space and usage that are shared with the high school and other grades were
designated a 25% or 50% for high school use.
July 8, 2015
255
Appendix C
Utilization Calculation
The calculation of school capacity was provided in the 2015 School Review Policy from the
province. The following is a reproduction of that information.
Utilization
Once program capacity has been calculated, the historical, current and projected enrolments for
the building can be applied to determine past, present, and future utilization information.
It is important to monitor utilization as negative impacts can potentially arise when the utilization
rate varies from the calculated capacity by significant amounts. A large variance may be a trigger
for the school board to consider remedial options.
Utilization Standards and Calculation
In elementary and junior high schools, a utilization rate of 100% of the calculated capacity could
be considered the normal or effective utilization rate. As utilization exceeds 100% there will be
increasing pressure to use ancillary spaces in the school, such as a music room, for regular
classroom needs, thus impacting education delivery at the school.
In high schools, a utilization rate of 85-90% is considered to be appropriate. As the utilization
exceeds this percentage it becomes increasingly difficult to manage schedules effectively.
Conversely, utilization rates which are far below this percentage indicate that the physical facility
is not being used to its full potential.
Once capacity is calculated, utilization is calculated based on the utilization standards. For
example, an elementary school with a total capacity of 250 students would be over-utilized if there
were more than 250 students in the school and under-utilized if there were less than 250 students
in the school. A high school with a total capacity of 250 students may be approaching overutilization if there were more than 212 students in the school (250 X .85 at 85% utilization) and
under-utilization with less than 212 students in the school.
Programming and Contextual Factors
Each school in Nova Scotia is unique, adapting to the needs and requirements of the school
population. While the calculation provided is intended to standardize and quantify the existing
capacity of a school, it is important to note that an explanation of programming decisions and
other contextual factors may be required for a reader to fully understand the school’s unique
circumstances. School boards are encouraged to provide any additional information that is
deemed appropriate to describe the capacity of a school in addition to the calculations outlined.

Appendix D
Building Condition Index Categories
Each school has a preliminary assessment and the conditions of various systems are considered
at a high level. The building envelope (roof, windows, doors, cladding, accessibility), grounds,
interior and building systems (electrical, mechanical, life safety, security) all contribute to the
assessment. Each facility can be categorized in one of the following categories:
Good
These facilities are new or constructed within the past 10 years. Schools having a recent major
refurbishment (A&A or capital project) can also be placed in this category. There is no impact to
programming.
Satisfactory
These facilities require some repairs and maintenance to the building systems, and finishes.
Changes to the Public School Program may pose challenges to these buildings as they age and as

These facilities are typically older buildings, and approaching the end of their useful life. Building
systems are working, and finishes are maintained but an increased level of maintenance is
required to operate these buildings. Changes to the Public School Program may pose challenges
to these buildings as they age and as a result, there may be impacts to programming.

Appendix E
Deferred Maintenance
Deferred maintenance (from Merriam-Webster) is an amount of maintenance needed but not
yet expended for repairs, restoration or rehabilitation of an asset. Ongoing deferred
maintenance leads to infrastructure debt.
Conservatively as a reasonable building owner, routine maintenance can be assumed to cost 1%
of the current replacement value of a facility. Considering CCRSB with 3,700,000 sq. ft. of
operable space and a replacement cost of $200 per square foot, the annual routine maintenance
can be estimated at $7.4M per year. If $800k is spent each year on maintenance, then annually
there is an infrastructure debt of $6.6M.
