"New Shediac K-12
The Superintendent/CEO thanked the following nine committee members for
their hard work: Dominic Vautour, Kathy Lloyd, Kent Carter, Danny Pellerin, Dan
Fournier, Pascal Landry, Aubrey Kirkpatrick, Candance Scott, Sarah Lowe. The
Superintendent/CEO then explained the process of such initiative. The expected
finish date is estimated to be of June 2027, and ready for the school year of 2027-
2028.
Dominic Vautour, member of the DEC, took the time to discuss and go over the
10-page document, highlighting key aspects of the design process. Rather than
focusing on limitations, the emphasis was on the target design enrollment. The
new school will integrate innovative design concepts aimed at creating
adaptable learning environments. Notably, flexibility was a key consideration,
with features such as movable walls and sliding whiteboards to optimize
classroom space and support teachers' instructional needs. Additionally, the
design incorporates polished exposed aggregate floors and other amenities. The
inclusion of peace and friendship spaces, accommodating practices like
smudging, further enhances the school's functionality. With an envisioned
enrollment spanning from kindergarten to eighth grade, accommodating 70
students per level and 75 for other grades, the school's total capacity is expected
to reach 1,146 students.
A member asked the question about outdoor facilities. Dominic Vautour replied
and provided the answered that there will be multiple sports fields, full size
football field and outdoor learning classroom. In addition to the option of EV
charging for cars and busses. Net zero policy was discussed."
