Schools in Stoney Creek and East Hamilton could face closure
By Sara Cain | December 3, 2015
Trustees from the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board are set to consider a motion Monday that would start an accommodation review of a new set of schools.
The board will look at consolidating school sites, upgrades and possible new school construction in Stoney Creek and East Hamilton.
Trustees are currently looking for community input on these decisions.
Some of the options include rebuilding a combined Glen Brae/Glen Echo school.
The rebuilding of Collegiate Avenue, Eastdale and Memorial Stoney Creek.
They are also looking at the possibility of additions to Lake Avenue and Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
Schools being considered for closure are Green Acres, Mountain View, R.L. Hyslop, Elizabeth Bagshaw and Sir Isaac Brock.
The board says it is one of many across Ontario dealing with empty, unfunded spaces and is hoping to capitalize on $750 million in multi-year funding being rolled out by the Ministry of Education.
