MSCS July 2012 – Fraser 554 Page 1 B. INFORMATION ENROLMENT HISTORY: 2006-07 TO 2010-11 PROJECTIONS: The Baragar projections are based on the September 2010 enrolment and 2010 data assumptions on migration, participation rate, and the historical net impact of people moving in and out of existing housing and moving into new housing in the school’s catchment area. The Principal’s March 2011 forecast was not available to be included within the projections at the time this document was prepared.

MSCS July 2012 – Fraser 554 Page 2 In the graphs that follow, the population data provide historic counts by age (including births and preschoolers) of all children that have lived in the Fraser Academy and John Caboto catchment areas for each year. From Census data, Baragar noted that there is a positive assumption in births supported by the fact that there were considerably more women aged 20 to 34 living in Fraser’s, John Caboto’s, Cedarcrest's and Gardenview’s catchment areas in 2009 than there were in 2001. However, in four years time, it is not known how many of these children will be eligible to attend English schools because of Laws 101, 104 and 115. The 2010 birth registry data for Quebec will not be available to Baragar until the summer of 2011.

FACILITY PROFILE Fraser Academy is housed in the Father McDonald facility and occupies 25% of the facility that it shares with LaurenHill Junior Campus and St. Laurent Adult Education Centre. A classroom of Fraser Academy was annexed to LaurenHill Junior Campus for 2007/08 and the capacity for the area housing Fraser Academy was modified to 540. In 2010-2011, Fraser Academy used 25.0% of its allocated capacity. Theoretically, Fraser Academy uses 26 classrooms. It also has a polyvalent activity room and a library. It has use of a gymnasium and a cafeteria within the Father McDonald complex. The operating costs include caretaking and contracted services, utilities, security, supplies/materials, building maintenance and repairs.

RATIONALE In the annual review of the Three-Year Plan, the Long Range Planning Committee compared the enrolment in this area of the territory with the number of student places available in the Bilingual Program.

Gardenview does not appear in the charts above because it cancels out (September 30, 2010 enrolment = 845, capacity = 845). The consolidation of the population of Fraser Academy with John Caboto School would ensure a more efficient use of space at either facility and would offer greater educational resources for the population. The consolidation of enrolments at Fraser Academy in the Father McDonald facility is not being considered. LaurenHill Junior Campus and St. Laurent Adult Education Centre can use the vacated space of Fraser Academy as additional space for their programs to expand. MSCS July 2012 – Fraser 554 Page 9 D. PROPOSED NEW PROGRAM BOUNDARY FOR THE PHASING-OUT PERIOD FOR SEPTEMBER 2012-2017 FOR THE CONSOLIDATION OF FRASER ACADEMY Fraser Academy’s enrolment will be consolidated with the enrolment at the John Caboto facility for the phasing-out period from September 2012-2017. The proposed new Bilingual Program boundary for John Caboto School for the phasing-out period from September 2012-17 would be as follows: North – waterfront South – Van Horne (Pierre Elliott Trudeau) to Wilderton (both sides) to Jean Talon (both sides) to racetrack, railway track to Courval East – Christophe Colomb (both sides) to Hwy. 40 to St. Denis (Pierre Elliott Trudeau) to Jarry (Pierre Elliott Trudeau) to Parc/railway tracks to Hwy. 40 to L’Acadie (west side) to Jean Talon (both sides) to Parc/railway tracks West – Ville St. Laurent city limits and airport limits to Hwy. 13 to Courval AU CH RIS TO PH EC OL OM B IS RY L'E HM 40 ST DEN JAR John Caboto* RC N VA TO ER HM AY ILW HM VILLE ST LA 13 RA COURVA L URENT LIM ITS HIP PO DR OM E JE AN N TA LO N D IL W 13 Fraser * PA NE NT ALO ADIE JEA L'AC N RA ILWA Y DE HO R 40 HM PARC Using the September 30, 2010 enrolment data, the enrolment by grade level is as follows: CYCLE I PM/PK M/K A(1) B(2) CYCLE 2 C D(3) E(4) CYCLE 3 F G(5) H(6) I SP.

A decline in enrolment at Fraser Academy is projected for subsequent years. Fraser Academy is located in the Father McDonald facility and shares the premises with LaurenHill Junior Campus and St. Laurent Adult Education Centre. • LaurenHill Junior Campus and St. Laurent Adult Education Centre would welcome the use of the area vacated by Fraser Academy for their programs. • Fraser Academy and John Caboto offer the Bilingual Program. • John Caboto has a low enrolment. • A decline in enrolment at John Caboto School is projected for subsequent years. • Using September 30, 2010 data, the enrolment of Fraser can be consolidated at the John Caboto facility. • Fraser Academy shares the same distinct boundary as Gardenview which offers the French Immersion Program. The distinct boundary will remain with Gardenview. • Ville St. Laurent is a growing area with demand for French programs. • Students from Fraser will be consolidated at John Caboto School that offers the Bilingual Program for the phasing-out period from September 2012-2017. • The consolidation of the enrolment of Fraser Academy at John Caboto would ensure a more efficient use of the space at either facility and offer greater educational resources for the population. • Relocating John Caboto to the Father McDonald facility is not considered an option since the facility presently houses LaurenHill Junior Campus and the St. Laurent Adult Education Centre. • Specific rooms and areas to be annexed to LaurenHill Junior Academy and to St. Laurent Adult Education Centre will be determined by the Regional Director and the School Principal and Centre Principal before the Three-Year Plan 2012-15 is approved • Financial considerations: Based on the salary scale as of April 2010*, there would be savings in the order of $187,454 which include the following: secretary (1), caretaking staff (1), principal (1), library technician (0.2). *An agreement in principal on salaries, pension plans and parental rights was reached in June 2010. The 5-year collective agreement provides for fixed salary increases of 6.0% and variable increases based on economic growth (up to 3.5%) and inflation (1%) for a potential total of 10.5%. At the time of writing this document, it is unknown when these increases will be in effect.
