Proposed Administrative

Recommendation(Effective September 2010)

Deer Run School Regular program (K-GR6) for the residential districts of Deer

Run and Deer Ridge

Including Deer River, Meadowbrook Apartments and Sun CreekCoach Homes

Pre-kindergarten program

Haultain Memorial School Regular program (K-GR6) for the residential districts of

Diamond Cove and Queensland

Queensland Downs School Surplus (Closed)


45/58

Administrative

Recommendation

Proposed

AttendanceArea MapDeer Run School



46/58

Rationale for Administrative

Recommendation

Haultain Memorial School is centrallylocated within Queensland/Diamond Cove

The central location maximizes the number

of students within the school walk zonesand therefore is fiscally responsible The proposed attendance areas for Deer

Run School and Haultain Memorial Schooltake community infrastructure into

consideration

R ti l f Ad i i t ti


47/58

Rationale for Administrative

Recommendation

Maintains existing learning continuum forK-GR12

Proposed attendance areas provide

sustainable catchment areas for Deer RunSchool and Haultain Memorial School

Provides an opportunity for studentsresiding in Queensland to have a larger

peer group from their residential district


48/58

What about Other Options?

Alternative Program Does not address the problem of low and/or

declining enrolment in the regular program

Goal is to have 85-100 students/grade

Bus receiver Currently there is not a need for space for

students from new and developing communities
