Yonge-Eglinton Phase 2 Review

(April 2021)

A new Yonge-Eglinton Phase 2 Program Area Review Team has been established to continue looking at accommodation solutions to address overcrowding at Eglinton Jr PS, and will include consideration of the Bannockburn building to resolve ongoing accommodation pressures in the Yonge-Eglinton area.

A previous review team was established in early 2019, but was paused in April 2019 after changes were announced by the Province affecting secondary school class sizes and funding. At the same time, a system-wide French Review and a Secondary Program Review were being undertaken. Directives coming out of those system reviews have now been incorporated into staff’s work to address the accommodation pressures impacting local schools in this area.

Update on Yonge-Eglinton PART Phase 2

(April 23, 2019)

Due to recent changes to funding and class sizes affecting secondary schools, the Yonge-Eglinton PART Phase 2 has been paused (all active reviews are also being paused). The pause will allow TDSB staff consider secondary properties as opportunities to address accommodation pressures. To that end, the public meetings scheduled on May 6 and 9 have been cancelled and the Program Area Review Team will resume working meetings in September 2019.

Yonge-Eglinton Phase 2 Program Area Review

April 7, 2019

The public consultation phase of the Yonge-Eglinton Phase 2 Program Area Review is currently underway. Parent representatives from Bedford Park PS, Eglinton Jr PS, Glenview Sr PS, Hodgson MS, John Fisher Jr PS, and Northlea E & MS are attending a series of Program Area Review Team (PART) meetings with School Principals, Superintendent, Trustees, and TDSB Central Staff to consider accommodation solutions with the aim of reducing enrolment pressures at local schools.

The role of the PART is to review data, discuss impacts of proposed changes, and come up with recommendations that will be shared with the Board of Trustees. During this process, we are committed to keeping parents/guardians and community members informed, and to give you the opportunity to provide feedback, share ideas and to ask questions.

Public meetings will take place on Monday, May 6, 2019 and Thursday, May 9, 2019 at Hodgson Middle School (282 Davisville Avenue) from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm to provide feedback and to ask questions. The same information will be presented at each of those two meetings.

Presentation material from each of the Program Area Review Team meetings as well as additional resources will be posted on the TDSB’s website:

Under ‘Current Program Area Reviews’, select: Bedford Park PS, Eglinton Jr PS, Glenview Senior PS, Hodgson MS, John Fisher Jr PS, Northlea E and MS.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Yonge-Eglinton PART, (April 4, 2019)

Attendance Boundary Change

A change for the attendance areas of Eglinton JPS and Maurice Cody PS was approved in May 2018. The change for the area of the South East corner of Mount Pleasant and Eglinton comes into effect for September 2019. If you live in this area, your child can attend Maurice Cody, starting in the 2019-2020 school year. To find out how to register your child or to get more information, please call the school at (416) 393-9240

This change was recommended in the 2015 Yonge-Eglinton Program Area Review and was approved by Trustees at a May 23, 2018 board meeting. Read a copy of the letter shared with the community in May 2018

Redirected Addresses for Sept. 2019

In June 2018, the TDSB Special Planning and Priorities committee recommended that Whitney Junior Public School be the designated elementary school for students residing in the new residential developments located at 95 Broadway Avenue, 99 Broadway Avenue, 33 Dunfield Avenue, 44 Lillian Street, 8 Eglinton Avenue East, 15 Roehampton Avenue, 161 Eglinton Avenue East, 30 Erskine Avenue, 101 Erskine Avenue, 150 Redpath Avenue, 2131 Yonge Street and 2221 Yonge Street.

This means that students living at those addresses won't be able to register at Eglinton for the 2019-2020 school year. Read more about this decision. Read more about the 2015 Yonge-Eglinton Review.
