Purpose To receive the Administrative recommendation to disband ARC 11 involving Sir George Ross and Thames Secondary Schools.
Content ARC 11 convened an Organizational Meeting 2009 January 28 and held public input meetings 2009 April 27, June 10, September 17, November 05 and 16. Concerns were articulated by the ARC 11 members regarding the need for more details about the proposed program enhancements to the Service Technology Programs compared to those that currently exist in Sir George Ross and Thames Secondary Schools. Such details are required before the members of ARC 11 feel they are able to provide input to the Board of Trustees. As a result, no report has resulted from ARC 11 deliberations.
Senior Administration understands the concerns expressed by the ARC 11 members related to the need for more details about the proposed enhanced program opportunities as they relate to students registered in Specialized Service Technology programs within the City of London. Senior Administration will provide the details of these potential enhancements as part of the Senior Administration’s overall review of Technology. This review cannot be completed and reported on within the time constraints of the accommodation review process.
Senior Administration will conclude its Review of Vocational Programming and begin a Review of Technology (including Specialized Service Technology programs within the City of London) immediately, and will report its findings of these reviews and subsequent recommendations to the Board.
Sir George Ross and Thames Secondary Schools will continue to operate and offer their current programs. Following receipt of the reports from the reviews, the Board may consider establishing a new ARC including Sir George Ross and Thames Secondary Schools. Additional secondary schools may be considered for inclusion when the new ARC is established. -2- Cost/Savings NA Timeline Immediately Appendices Minutes of the 2009 November 16 ARC Meeting KD:cb
