  • The Closure of Rideau High School: a Case Study in the Political Economy of Urban Education in Ontario
    Canadian Journal of Educational Administration and Policy, 191, 83-105 The Closure of Rideau High School: A Case Study in the Political Economy of Urban Education in Ontario Jesse K. Butler, Ruth G. Kane, & Fiona R. Cooligan University of Ottawa Abstract In 2017, school board trustees in Ottawa, Ontario, voted to close Rideau High School, an urban sec- ondary school in a historically marginalized neighbourhood. The school board had argued that low en- rolment at Rideau HS, and the resultant inability of the school to offer a full range of course choices, made closure the only viable option. To many people in the affected communities, however, the clo- sure decision was seen as a form of discrimination against the school’s marginalized student population, which included many new immigrants, refugees, and Indigenous students. This article draws upon re- search from the US and the UK that emphasizes the spatial dimensions of urban education, along with the existing research on school closures in Ontario in order to explore this particular school closure de- cision from an urban, political, socioeconomic, and historical perspective. By focusing on a case study area in eastern Ottawa, this article incorporates both a narrative history of Ottawa school board pol- icies and a quantitative analysis of local demographic data. The argument here is that the closure of Rideau HS should be understood in the context of a series of interconnected challenges faced by the school, including a marginalized student population, a negative reputation, and low student enrolment. In turn, these challenges should be understood in the context of socioeconomic disparities between neigh- bourhoods in the area and a history of ineffective policies at the school-board level, including relatively lax student transfer policies.
