The study will examine the following: · The land use policy and regulatory approach that should be adopted by the Town for lands that are the site of existing schools within urban and rural areas and lands that have been identified by the school boards as being potentially necessary in the future; and · The appropriate land use planning process to be adopted when the whole or part of a school site is to be declared surplus.
