Capital Planning

WHERE ARE WE GOING?

The Near North District School Board is committed to optimizing the use of board-owned assets. This may be achieved by establishing facility partnerships for co-building opportunities when undertaking major capital projects, the leasing of space within current assets, the disposition of properties and engaging in long term planning. Capital planning activities will be well informed, well-coordinated, transparent, sustainable and supportive of student achievement and well-being.

The Board's Updated Capital Plan was approved on February 25, 2020.

The Board will continue to address the future accommodation needs of students across the district with a focus on the priorities as outlined within the Board’s Capital Plan. No new accommodation reviews will be considered until the Ministry of Education’s revised Pupil Accommodation Review Guideline is complete and the moratorium on establishing accommodation reviews and school surplus is lifted. Exploring opportunities for collaborative capital projects and shared-space opportunities with municipalities, co-terminus school boards, community partners and agencies remains a priority.

ACCOMMODATION REVIEW PROCESS

The Near North District School Board is committed to working with community partners when undertaking capital planning, including when the Board is beginning to develop options to address under-utilized space in its buildings. Further, the Board is committed to ensuring that decisions regarding student accommodations are made with the involvement of an informed local community and are based on a broad range of criteria regarding the quality of the learning experience for students.

The Guide to Accommodation Reviews is a great resource for anyone interested in learning more.

AVAILABLE SPACE

On October 11, 2016, the Board approved a list of schools in the board having unused space and that could accommodate an appropriate new community partnership.

Community partners are invited to indicate their interest in a new partnership with the Board at any time of the year by completing an Application for Facility Partnership form. Completed forms can be forwarded to Gay Smylie, Acting Superintendent of Education, who can be reached at Gay.Smylie@nearnorthschools.ca or by phone at (705) 472-8170, extension 5004.

The Board encourages community partners to notify the board when planning to build new facilities.�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċ
