4- The Oakville Beaver, Friday December 12, 2008 www.oakvillebeaver.com Dietrichs SE PLEAR IN ORDE NCE ADVA Celebrate the Holidays with Clearview will remain 500-capacity school Continued from page 3 $299 $499 $299 $549 $ 29 3 $799 Joudrie remained firm that regardless of future decisions, the Clearview community can support a student body of that size. "Right now, we believe there are enough students in the Clearview area that are either currently enrolled and are being bussed out, or are in other schools, that we believe we would attract," he told the Beaver. "As a result, 500 is a very solid number." Joudrie said that doing another study on the size of the school or waiting for the decision regarding the remaining schools could cause significant construction delays. "Building a school takes time," Joudrie said. "We have to go through several stages to get designs, the architect, general contractors, etc. and all of that takes time. If we had set that piece aside at the same time and reviewed the entire package, it would have been, we believe, a disservice to the Clearview community." COCA supports a 500-capacity school, saying it is the ideal size. "For best programming in Halton, your school should be 500," Sloane said. Although the July 2 decision specified that Clearview would be a JK-8 English school, Monday's recommendation did not determine what the school would offer. COCA hopes to be able to provide input to the board on the school's programs, Sloane said. MINI.CA "We will continue to work with the board on the final size of the school and potential programs, such as a possible French immersion program that was discussed last night by trustees," she said. Caskenette said ORPE supports a school in Clearview, as long as students are coming from that community and not being bussed in from other parts of southeast Oakville as a way to meet the 500-student capacity. "A school for the Clearview community that meets the elements of the Cooke report, including minimized bussing, which we would interpret to be a made-in-Clearview solution for the children of their community, would not be a concern for the community," he said. "The concern comes up about where does the student population come from. There has never been clarity through this process about where the population will come from to make a viable model in Clearview." Joudrie hopes the board's decision to review accommodation options in southeast Oakville in light of Cooke's report will improve relations between members of the community and the board. "I'm always a big fan of people working towards, as Mr. Cooke said, a consensus and making everyone happy," he said. "If you work hard, most often you can come to that type of resolution. I'm hopeful that will occur here." $399 $699 The 2009 MINI. zero down. zero first payment. zero security deposit. zero chance you'll find a deal like this again. $289 $429 $499 $699 /b $ 899 Now with more standard features like multifunction steering wheel with cruise control · Automatic Climate Control · Dynamic Stability Control · 16" alloy wheels · Fog Lights · Panoramic glass sunroof and heated front seats (available with Comfort Package).
