A review of the grade distribution of French Immersion students between Central Senior School and Leslie Frost Public School is taking place.
In Trillium Lakelands District School Board (TLDSB) schools, we aim to provide our students with the best possible educational experience. This review will help us ensure we are meeting the needs of all learners with high-quality educational programming, student achievement and well-being.
Update: At the October 22 Trillium Lakelands District School Board Public Meeting of the Board, trustees approved the reconfiguration of the FI grades at the two City of Kawartha Lakes schools that offer the FI programming. Effective September 2025, the FI program for Grades 1 to 3 will remain at LFPS, and CSS will welcome Grades 4 to 8.
The questions and/or concerns that were raised at the community consultation, as well as submitted through the feedback form, have all been reviewed. The following areas are being addressed at CSS:
Transportation will continue to be provided to and from school for eligible students whose home address is outside the designated walking zone for each school.
A community consultation meeting was held on September 26 at Lindsay Collegiate and Vocational Institute.
This program review of the French Immersion grade distribution is taking place to look at balancing school enrolment and capacity, each school’s facilities, programs offered, and any limitations at both schools. Overall, we want to provide the best possible programming for our students.
Currently, Leslie Frost Public School has Grades 1-6 French Immersion and Central Senior School has Grades 7 & 8.
No, we are not adjusting the school catchment area boundary for either school.
French Immersion grades: How does the current distribution affect the schools and students, and whether a change would be beneficial.
Special education: With any change, our staff will reflect the needs of the students.
Child care: We expect there will be no change to before and after care.
School facilities:
Outdoor space:
No, students in the English program are not affected by this review.
If there will be a change, it will take effect September 2025 and families will be informed in late October/early November on the decision. Staffing changes will be addressed through the administration and Human Resources Services in alignment with collective agreement provisions.
The Board is at the beginning stages of this review which includes a consultation meeting with our families and community members.
Following the meeting, options will be taken to the Board of Trustees at the October Regular Meeting of the Board.
Families will then be made aware of the outcome of the review and if there is a change to the grade distribution, it will take effect September 2025.
