On Tuesday, Thames Valley District School Board Trustees supported plans to seek public feedback on initial reports for the Adelaide Metcalfe and Strathroy-Caradoc Elementary Panel Attendance Area Review and the South East London Elementary Panel Attendance Area Review.

• The Adelaide Metcalfe and Strathroy-Caradoc Elementary Panel Attendance Area Review initial report includes preliminary options for balancing enrolment at Adelaide- W. G. MacDonald Public School, Caradoc North Public School, Mary Wright Public School and North Meadows Public School. A potential attendance area for a future elementary school that is planned in Strathroy is also included.
• The Southeast London Elementary Panel Attendance Area Reviewinitial report includes options for establishing an attendance area for the new South East London elementary school that was approved by the Ministry of Education in spring 2024.  

Next steps will involve forming an Attendance Area Review Committee (AARC) for each review as well as school level sub-committees with parent and caregiver representatives from the elementary school involved in each review. The sub-committees will hold meetings with their school communities to gather public feedback about the options under consideration.

Attendance area changes would only take effect following public consultation and Trustee approvals. The soonest the Board would implement any attendance area changes for the Adelaide Metcalfe and Strathroy-Caradoc Elementary Panel Attendance Area Review would be September 2026. The attendance area for the new Southeast London Elementary School would take effect upon the school’s opening in the 2026-2027 school year.
