In this introductory module, we'll briefly examine the Toronto District School Board's approach to long-term program and accommodation planning, including an overview of our annual enrolment projection process. This module will also describe the constraints of the provincial funding framework and how they impact the TDSB's ability to plan for the future.
This module will provide some background about the Yonge-Eglinton Phase 2 Program Area Review: an overview of the Yonge-Eglinton area and why this study is being undertaken.

To address accommodation pressures at Midtown schools, TDSB staff have engaged in a number of reviews over the decade. This module provides an overview of those accommodation studies, and highlights the decisions that came out of them.
This module shares with the actual and projected enrolments for Eglinton Junior Public School and John Fisher Junior Public School, assuming status quo. Facility information is also shared for the two schools, as well as for the Bannockburn site, which is being considered as an accommodation solution in this review.
The Local Feasibility Team is composed of directly affected Superintendents, Prinicipals, Trustees, and other TDSB Central Staff.

This final module shares with you what the Local Feasibility Team's recommendation is.
