Update on school catchment issue

School board superintendent Krys Croxall agrees changing the French Immersion catchment area could benefit students in the Meadowlands and the Fessenden program.

Ms. Croxall responded to my request for comment on Wednesday afternoon, unfortunately just after deadline.

Ms. Croxall said it would make sense to support the program at Fessenden by changing the catchment to include students from the Ancaster Meadow area.

Ms. Croxall is aware that parents of Ancaster Meadow graduates are paying out-of-pocket expenses to send their children to Ancaster High School, because Ancaster Meadow is currently part of the Sir Allan MacNab catchment.

Following up on parent recommendations, the board will review the catchment areas.

"Our accommodation and planning department is looking into that," Ms. Croxall said.
