Whereas the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board (KPRDSB) has decided to move younger students to the Pines Senior Public School (PSPS) on Highway 35/115 due to over-capacity issues (209 students above capacity with 11 portables); And whereas the speed limit on Highway 35/115 is 90 km/hr, while most school zones are 40 km/hr; And whereas younger students, including those with special needs, are at a higher risk of possibly fleeing from the classroom, which puts them at risk to Highway 35/115 road dangers; And whereas housing development is anticipated to add an additional 1,300 units into the catchment by 2027, with the potential to generate an additional 230 students; And whereas the increased enrolment is also impacting the development and maintenance of physical buildings and playground stability, as well as creating transportation issues; And whereas the building of a new school in Newcastle would resolve these issues and protect Clarington children; And whereas the KPRDSB has resubmitted a Capital Priorities funding Request to the Ministry of Education for a Kindergarten to Grade 12 school in Newcastle; Now therefore be it resolved: That the Municipality of Clarington supports the KPRDSB’s funding request to the Ministry of Education for a K-12 school in Newcastle; and That this resolution be forwarded to the Minister of Education, Honourable Stephen Lecce, and local MPP, David Piccini.
