East Oxford Elementary Panel Attendance Area Review update

March 2, 2026

Thames Valley District School Board (TVDSB) has started the East Oxford Attendance Area Review

This review is happening because East Oxford Central Public School is experiencing high enrollment.

The initial report, which explains the potential changes to the attendance areas for East Oxford Central, Emily Stowe, and Central public schools.  

Next steps, as approved by the current Supervisor of Education for TVDSB, include moving forward with public consultation on the report. 

Attendance area changes will only take effect following public consultation and board Supervisor approval. The earliest the board would implement any attendance area changes would be the 2027-28 school year.

A final report will be shared with all committee members and posted on the TVDSB website in the fall of 2026.
