On November 26, 2024, Thames Valley District School Board Trustees supported plans to seek public feedback on the East Central London Elementary Panel Attendance Area Review (ECLAAR) initial report. 

Goals of the review:

• Relieve enrolment pressure at East Carling Public School, which capped new student registrations for the 2024-2025 school year in September 2024
• Increase enrolment at Prince Charles Public School to better use available space at the school
• Consider potential boundary changes for Aberdeen Public School due to a redevelopment of the former Victoria Hospital site on South Street
• Increase enrolment at Trafalgar Public School to better use available space at the school

The report includes potential attendance area changes for East Carling Public School, Prince Charles Public School, Aberdeen Public School, and Trafalgar Public School.

Next steps will involve forming an Attendance Area Review Committee (AARC) as well as school level sub-committees with parent and caregiver representatives from each elementary school involved in the 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 approval. The soonest the Board would implement any attendance area changes would be September 2026.
