At last night’s Regular Board Meeting, Trustees received an update on the Long Term Capital Plan, which includes planning for future Board initiatives.
All school boards in Ontario are required to share with community partners information regarding their long-term capital plans. St. Clair Catholic’s Long Term Capital Plan provides background information with respect to the Board’s future capital needs and accommodation strategy and a framework for decision-making regarding facilities. The report provides specific data and information related to enrolment trends, facility conditions and strategies and schedules for accommodation.
“Our annual report to Trustees and our community partners shares important planning information,” says Amy Janssens, Associate Director – Corporate Services & Treasurer. “Projects named in the report have all been identified by the Board as priorities; however, they are all at various stages of Ministry approval.”
The report is an update to the 2018-2022 document. A new Long Term Capital Plan is scheduled to be released in September 2023.
