Work will Include widening of Dundas to f ive lanes, a new sldeWalk on the north boulevard and omîmded-to council By Mike Kowalski PendingTow council approval next week, administrative head- quarters for the Durham Board of Education may eventually be relocated to Whitby. Joining it on the saine site will be a three-story high school te serve north Whitby students. Council's planning and deve- lopment committee recommen- ded Monday that the school board be granted amendmnents te Whitby's and Durham Region's officiai plans to allow for the poet. rqe se ool and administration building are planned for a 24- acre site north of Taunton Ed., between Garden St. and Ander- son St. The $28-million high school would accommodate 1,400 stu- dents and relieve en;rolment pressure on both «Henry Street and Anderson high schools. The $20-million "education centre" would house about 500 board employees now working out of various locations around the region. Also included would be a play- ing field and parking for 656 cars. The committee recommenda- tion was contrary to the original proposal from staff. While staff had no objections to the high school, there were reservations about the administ- ration building. Staff felt that te, designate-the property from open spaoe te in- stitutional te permit t he centre is premature at this time. A staff report noted that a proposaI for a banquet.hall on Taunton Rd. had been deferred, pending a review of the officiai plan, and suggested the samne for this application. However, committee agreed with Mayor Bob Attersley that it would be wrong te deny the school board's request. Attersley comniended school board chairman Ian Brown for proposing the two projects on the one site, thereby helping reduce costs, such as needing only one architect and one builder for two -ieparate facilities. Brown told reporters after the i ýeeting that if everything fails i. to place, the sehool could be oi en in 1994. 1.'he Ontario Minisr of Edu- cation has allocated $25-million towards the cost of the school, said Brown. However, the board must rely on its own resouroes for the fur, cost of the headqurtrs. UI think it will go ahead, we've been kickin this around for nine years,» said Brown. "Trustees realize the needs and advantages Of it. Built in 1960 for the former Oshawa Board of Education and its 100 employees, the Rossland Rd. headquarters is overcrowded. Brown, a Whitby trustee, said that Wile the new facility will house adininistrators, board offi- Break-ms anvestigat»d cles.» He says that some of the items taken from glove boxes- were tapes and flashlights. SEE PAGE 37 cials prefer te caîl it an education centre te reflect the varlous types of employees who.will work out of it, such as the 60 consul- tants now working in the former Sinclair School located on the site of the proposed centre. Built in 1874, the school is listed as an historically impor- tant building in Whitby. Brown said the board intends to save the Sinclair school if it can. The school board now owns three acres on the site. It has options on the reniaining 21 acres. Following Town council appro- val, the board will also need Durham Region's . endorsement and then have te vote itself on whether to proceed with the relo- cation. T 5515 THICKSON RD. N.
