The purpose of this proposed strategic direction is to implement efficiencies across the Division, providing high quality learning opportunities while ensuring the Division is financially sustainable. The proposed plan includes:
- Reconfiguring schools east of Hwy 2 to K- 8 (Centennial, Norwood, Parkdale, Clear Vista, Gwynne) and 9-12 (Wetaskiwin Composite High).
- Reconfiguring Queen Elizabeth as a dual-track K-8 school offering French Immersion and Year-Round programs while providing a CTS Centre.
- Consolidating Millet and Griffiths Scott into one K-8 school with the closure of Millet School.
- Repurposing C.B. McMurdo School. Possible uses may include: housing off-campus, system programs, centralized programs (Home Ed, District Principal, OH&S Coordinator) and community programs/partners (Boys & Girls Club, Hope Mission).
- Future efficiencies may be found in the reconfiguration of schools west of Hwy 2 (Alder Flats, Buck Mountain, Winfield, Lakedell, Pigeon Lake, Falun, Pipestone).
