The alternative program is at risk. The board staff have recommended to trustees that the Alternative Program be closed down. Now is the time to speak up! It is very important that we let the board know how we value educational choice. Among the alternative program's greatest strengths are our sense of community and the value we place on participation. We need to be able to depend on these now more than ever. Over the coming week, we will let you know specific ways in which you can act.
The school board's description of the process can be found at http://www.ocdsb.ca/au_hi_program-reviews_EAPR.asp
Updates on the alternative education program review will be posted on this page and at http://programreview.asac-ottawa.org/ as well as on the Facebook group "Alternative Schools in Ottawa: More Choices" and to the Lady Evelyn email list. We will continually provide you with the up to date information.
Emails of concern to staff at the school board and trustees can be sent to the addresses found here.
