There were tears of joy and disappointment shed by parents as the Halton District School Board unanimously voted to close four schools and build a new school in southeast Oakville at a special meeting held Wednesday night. Linbrook, Chisholm, New Central and Brantwood schools are slated to close by September 2010.

James Public School, which will have a JK-8 English stream and Maple Grove Public School offering Grade 1-8 French immersion. The new school and renovated schools are expected to be ready for students by September 2010.
