Hammarskjold is

We can hardly believe it, but it's official: LDSB staff are recommending Trustees approve Option 2 of the North Side Renewal Plan and keep Hammarskjold open!! Here's an excerpt from the recommendation: "At the October 4, 2016 Special Board Meeting, administration will make the following recommendations: Approve the consolidation of students from Superior Collegiate and Vocational Institute into Hammarskjold High School for the 2017-2018 school year and approve the closure of St. James Public School, C.D. Howe Public School and Vance Chapman Public School, effective June 30, 2018 relocating students from these schools to the renovated Superior Collegiate and Vocational Institute site, effective September 2018." You can see the whole document here: https://www.lakeheadschools.ca/…/Board/Meetings/Agendas/2016 The report will be presented to Trustees at a public meeting tomorrow night at 7:30 pm at the Board office (we'd love to have you join us if you can). Trustees will vote to approve or deny staff's recommendations October 4th. We can't thank you enough for your support of our campaign! LDSB staff and all the ARC members also deserve a HUGE round of applause for all their hard work and determination to make the best out of a very difficult situation. We will continue to send updates and use Facebook to keep supporters informed as the renewal process continues. We're very excited for the future of public education on the north side of our city and we hope you are too! Viking Proud!!
