www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday January 23, 2009 - 5 Director outlines consultation process in southeast Oakville Continued from page 4 The gathering input step will also include a series of focus group sessions, conducted by an independent third-party facilitator. "In both the survey and the focus groups, one thing that we learned (from Ward 4) is that we need to be very precise around what we are asking, so the way I envision it at this time, is that the survey and the focus groups will be dedicated to an evaluation and discussion of the options that will be approved for consideration," Joudrie said. A single, unique e-mail address will also be set up for the board to receive public input, which will be distributed to all trustees and senior administrators. The third, and final step, is the actual decision making, which will occur some time in May or June. The director will assemble a report after reflecting on all of the input received from the community with respect to the proposed alternative accommodation options, including any additional options generated through the public input process. He will then make a recommendation for board consideration. The board will then conduct a delegation evening to give parents, school councils and the broader public an opportunity to share their views on the director's recommendation. The director may revise the report based on input received through delegations and correspondence. "I reserve the right to revise my recommendation if there is some piece of the public delegation that is compelling or interesting that would really make it a better recommendation," Joudrie said. Trustees will then consider all informa- tion, including the original information being guinea pigs, because this was absolutely new territory package, survey results, focus group results, for us in Ontario and in Halton, specifically. There's a need e-mails, written correspondence, delegations to review and modify some elements." and the director's report. Finally, the board will approve a motion dealing with the program and accommodation needs in Ward 3 Oakville. Joudrie also discussed other actions at Wednesday night's meeting that will come in response to Cooke's recommendations. Besides proceeding with the new school in Clearview and the proposed community consultation process, Joudrie said the HDSB will also be reviewing and modifying its PARC policy. "Mr. Cooke commented several times about the challenges in our current (PARC) policy," he said. "When I presented it and we started down the road with our first two PARCs, I described PARC 14 and PARC 16B as what you need to keep you y p warm this winter.
