There has been a rise in opioid use in the community. The Principals in all the schools (including the Catholic Board) are in continual contact. There is a Rideauwood counsellor assigned to every english speaking school in Ottawa. They are in the schools once/week. What is an Opioid? - Opioids are drugs that act on the nervous system to relieve pain when other painkillers do not work. Opioids include drugs like heroin, morphine, fentanyl, methadone and codeine. They can vary in strength and are designed to slow down the bodies functions. They are intended for short term use as continued use and abuse can lead to physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms. A person’s tolerance to the drug rises quickly (a break in use will decrease a person’s tolerance, which can be dangerous as the person will go back to taking the amount they left off at and this can result in an overdose). Fentanyl is usually prescribed in a patch form as a painkiller. It is man-made and around 30 to 50 times more powerful than heroine 50 to 100 times more toxic than morphine. This makes the risk of accidental overdose much higher.

  • Western Area Review
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - WESTERN AREA REVIEW The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) is committed to providing optimum learning environments for students in a way that ensures equity of access within sustainable resources. The Ministry of Education has been clear that school districts will continue to see a reduction in the funding that is tied directly to maintaining excess pupil space. When funding and enrolment are misaligned, the costs of empty pupil spaces negatively impact all students as resources cannot be maximized to support student learning. To achieve that goal, the Board has undertaken a five year Pupil Accommodation Review Plan which includes most areas of the District. A multi-year student learning and accommodation plan provides an opportunity to review, reconsider and, where needed, recreate better learning environments for students. The adoption of this plan and the background studies which support it, provide the rationale upon which all reviews will be based. The Western Area Pupil Accommodation Review is scheduled to begin in September, 2016 and encompasses the following 26 schools (22 elementary; 4 secondary): Bell High School Family of Schools Merivale High Schools Family of Schools Bayshore Public School Bell High School Carleton Heights Public School Bells Corners Public School Century Public School D. Aubrey Moodie Intermediate School Meadowlands Public School Lakeview Public School Merivale High School Sir Winston Churchill Public School Sir Robert Borden High School Family of Schools Woodroffe High School Family of Schools Briargreen Public School Churchill Alternative School Agincourt Road Public School Grant Alternative School D.

These reviews consider grade configurations, programs, school condition, student enrolment and excess pupil space within a “family of schools”. For example, the Western Area Review includes 4 families of schools — Bell High School, Merivale High School, Sir Robert Borden High School, Woodroffe High School and all of the elementary schools that feed into these high schools. As part of the review process, staff must present recommendations for change. These changes can include school closures and consolidations, as well as changes in program offerings, grade configuration, and school boundaries. These can be difficult changes, but are necessary because the school district has excess pupil space and will experience a reduction in funding. The cost of empty pupil spaces takes money out of the classroom and negatively impacts all students. Over the next six months, the school district will consult with the community on the proposed changes and the Board will make a final decision in March.

  • 16 January 2018 Report No. 18-009 Disposition of Surplus Property Key
    COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE (PUBLIC) 16 January 2018 Report No. 18-009 Disposition of Surplus Property Key Contact: Michael Carson, Chief Financial Officer, 613-596-8211 ext. 8881. PURPOSE: 1. To provide information to support the discussion regarding the disposition process for surplus OCDSB properties. CONTEXT: 2. The OCDSB is a significant owner of public lands in the city of Ottawa. To meet our fiscal obligations in the management of these properties, from time to time our property inventory must be examined to determine what are core or strategic holdings and which properties may have become surplus to our needs as an organization. There is always a balance to be maintained; continuing to own properties affords the OCDSB flexibility to respond to the changing needs and demographics of our organization; however, this flexibility comes at the cost of maintaining these sites. Additionally, there are public expectations that must be taken into account in managing the property portfolio. In particular, when it comes to recently closed schools, if the Board has determined that the local students are best served by consolidating them at nearby sites, there is an expectation that that the site itself may be surplus to our needs unless we have articulated alternative uses. KEY CONSIDERATIONS: 3. Disposition Process The disposition of any district property is governed by Regulation 444/98 under the Education Act. In addition to this regulation, the OCDSB has its own policy and procedure that governs property disposition; namely, Policy P.095.PLG Declaring, Decommissioning and Disposal of Surplus Board Property (Appendix A) and Procedure P.613.PLG, Declaration and Disposal of Surplus Board Property (Appendix B).
