Halton District Catholic School Board trustees may buy five-acre parcel of land in Acton East for an elementary school site following debate at their March 22 meeting. The land, on Tanners Drive at Rennie Street, is owned by 1001 Developments Ltd., (Acton East developers Dawkins and Heller) and was identified as a potential school site nine years ago. The Board has a 10-year option to purchase, which expires in September next year. The Board's Administrator of Planning Services, Scott Bland, said the Board is looking at acquiring the land before the option expires, even though it has "no immediate need" for a new Catholic elementary school in Acton at this time. Currently, St. Joseph Catholic School has a relatively stable population of approximately 476 students, with five portables.
