A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Board, at the March 10, meeting of Corporate Services, Strategic Planning and Property Committee, approved the report to 2018-19 Consensus Enrolment Projections- All Wards. Detailed in this report are the accommodation needs for the school year to be satisfied either by portable relocation or interior modification of existing buildings to create additional teaching spaces. As of February, the TCDSB has 340 portable classrooms in active use and 16 additional portables currently in storage at the West Portable Compound. Over the past ten years, the total portable inventory has been reduced from 543 to the current 340 (Appendix A ). This represents a total reduction of 203 portables (37%) over the past ten-year period. All portable needs will be satisfied from within the current inventory. The operational total will be reduced to 333 portables over the summer of. A combination of the refurbishment and replacement program and portable demolition and disposal has improved the condition and the average age of a portable classroom to 2002 from an average age of 1986 in the 2006-2007 school year (Year by Year improvement shown in Appendix A ). There are a number of Capital projects that are in design/planning stages that will require portable moves on site to allow for construction activities. Portable removal will occur upon project completion which is expected in 2017. Where it is prohibitive to place portable classrooms because of site restrictions, interior building modifications have been considered to create additional classroom space if required. B. PURPOSE This report assesses Accommodation Needs for the school year. The cost of the portable/retrofit program is $1,438,691 and will be funded through the approved 2014- School Renewal Program, under the School Renewal Grant. If approved, interior retrofits and portable placement will commence in spring/summer. Page 2 of 7
C. BACKGROUND 1. The annual assessment of Accommodation Needs was administered by the Planning Department in February of. Each school was reviewed based on projected enrolment and teaching space requirements. Where it was determined additional space was required or could be declared surplus, each Principal was asked to confirm their anticipated needs with Planning staff and provide feedback. 2. As Renewal funds have been significantly reduced this year, priority was given to projects that will not have sufficient space to accommodate September enrolment. As a result, there are a few schools that could declare surplus portables but have been informed to continue to use them for the coming school year. These schools will be reviewed annually as part of the assessment of accommodation needs and portable classrooms will be removed as funding allows. D. EVIDENCE/RESEARCH/ANALYSIS 1. Portable counts in each Trustee Ward are detailed by school in Appendix B. Totals by Ward comparing the school year to the school year inclusive of changes proposed in this report are included in the following table: Summer Trustee Ward Andrachuk 66 58 2 60 Bottoni 68 24-6 18 Crawford 114 80 0 80 D'Amico 7 9-9 0 Davis 15 8 0 8 Del Grande 55 19 0 19 Kennedy 13 6 6 12 Page 3 of 7

Costs for renovating a portable classroom and renewing its use for another 10-15 years is less than $25,000 using Board staff as compared to a cost of $45,000 using private contractors, and over $60,000 for the purchase and installation of new portable classrooms. Therefore there are substantial savings resulting from renovation of portables in place. This method of portable renewal has improved the average age of the portable inventory and has created a sufficient inventory to satisfy the proposed portable plan without the need to purchase additional new portables. 3. Demolition of old and prohibitive to repair portables and assessment of those which become surplus after new construction will continue as funds allow. The result of the refurbishment and replacement program is the improvement of the average age of a portable classroom used by the TCDSB to 2002 from an average age of 1986 in the school year (Year by Year improvement shown in Appendix A ). 4. The following provides a summary of portable moves required to accommodate enrolment changes and construction needs. Every effort has been made by Renewal and Planning staff to reduce the Accommodation Needs Plan to address immediate and crucial needs. All related costs for these projects are included in the totals. 5. School Action Cost St. Augustine Remove six portables from the site to accommodate the construction project. The portables will be relocated to Senator O Connor. $36,522 Page 4 of 7
St. Clement Three portables must be moved to allow for construction, all will be removed following completion of addition tentatively 2017. St. John Paul II Two portables require relocation in order to complete the ravine repair project. Due to funding pressure, a planned replacement of portables at this site has been deferred following completion of Senator O Connor Former Brother Edmund Rice (BER) the ravine restoration Add six portables to accommodate enrolment growth. Addition of these portables will allow for the accommodation of the waitlisted students. The building has been sold to the Conseil Scolaire Viamonde (CSV) and the students from St. John the Evangelist school have been relocated to the former St. Philip Neri as they await construction of their replacement facility. There are nine portables still on the BER site that must be removed as soon as possible. Efforts are being made to sell the units that are in fair condition. The remaining will be demolished. $59,615 $40,000 $322,632 $72,000 TOTAL $530,769 6. Enrolment increases at St. Pius X have resulted in the need for one additional teaching space to deliver the program for the school year and subsequent years. A significant addition at St. Pius X was completed in 2012. This addition included extensive greening and landscaping of the site making portable placement unrealistic and impractical. 7. Planning and Facilities staff have visited the site to assess the feasibility of creating additional space. The diagram below indicates a multi-use area including offices, special needs space and storage. The interior walls will be Page 5 of 7
removed, floors repaired and ceiling repaired to create one standard classroom of approximately 70 square metres. 8. The Vice Principal office will be relocated to a section of the main office. Some retrofit of the main office space will be necessary to accommodate this move including construction of walls, electrical and finishing work. The Special Needs program will be relocated to the third floor with the expansion of an existing space. A targeted purge and reorganization of storage materials will occur at the school. The estimated cost to perform this work, being completed by Board staff, is approximately $20,000 and has been included in the total amount being requested to complete the Accommodation Needs Plan. 9. The addition of two portable classrooms as well as retrofit of an FDK classroom at Holy Angels resulting from increased enrolment from a board approved boundary change was reviewed at the March 23, meeting of Director s Council. The cost of this portable placement and FDK retrofit is estimated at $160,625 and has been included in the total amount being requested to complete the Accommodation Needs Plan. 10. A summary of the costs associated with the Accommodation Needs Plan is included in Appendix C. E. IMPLEMENTATION, STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS AND STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT PLAN 11. A comprehensive Accommodation Needs program budget of $1,438,691 approved 2014- School Renewal Program, under the School Renewal Grant. Portable relocation, demolition, and site preparation/restoration will commence Page 6 of 7
in spring/summer. Interior modifications at St. Pius X will begin as detailed as soon as possible. 12. Superintendents will be provided with a detailed summary of the Accommodation Needs addressed in this plan and the Principals at the affected schools will be contacted directly by the Portable Supervisor to confirm dates and times work will be performed. 13. Communications will be issued to schools and neighbours in accordance with the Operational Procedures within the Good Neighbour Policy S.A. 25. F.
