As it turned out James won the Louis Jannetta award. The Louis Jannetta Mississauga ITALFEST Youth Heritage Award is presented annually to a young Italian-Canadian who is a role model and leader and who contributed to the fabric of Mississauga by volunteering or by trying to improve the lives of others. I was taken back by the MC, Tina Cole’s comments, “In the past 5 years, 3 of the 5 recipients were from St Martin Secondary School. They must be doing something right at that school.”

Minutes – Regular Board Meeting – August 22, 2017

D. Del Bianco, Superintendent, Planning and Operations reviewed the report, and provided a summary of why transportation had not been reinstated for St. Nicholas Catholic Elementary School students residing east of Coleraine Drive. The Caledon School Traffic Safety Committee (CSTSC) recommended that crossing guards were warranted at the intersection of King Street West and Harvest Moon Drive and that transportation should be reinstated for St. Nicholas students. Student Transportation of Peel Region (STOPR) Governance Committee, consisting of trustees and staff from both Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board and Peel District School Board denied the request to reinstate transportation as a result of the establishment of two crossing guards at the intersection, which were in place for the entire 2016-17 school year. By approving the establishment of crossing guards at the intersection of Coleraine Drive and King Street West/ Harvest Moon Drive, the Town of Caledon School Traffic Safety Committee identified a viable pedestrian route for student crossing and did not provide any correspondence identifying that it was not safe for student crossing. Trustee F. Di Cosola appealed to trustees to consider the request of the Caledon School Traffic Safety Committee. The crossing guard pilot project ended in June 2017. Trustees discussed the transportation request for St. Nicholas students and Superintendent D. Del Bianco responded to questions of clarification.

RECEIVED. CARRIED

Superintendent of Program and Learning Services, C. Murphy, introduced the report that

highlighted the theme and provided background information on Catholic Education Week 2018, Renewing the Promise. Coordinator of Religious Education and Faith Formation S. Peterson reviewed the report. A fall symposium will take place in November for all partners in Catholic education and all English and French Catholic school boards, and it is hoped that a pastoral letter will be released during Catholic Education Week May 6 to 11, 2018. The introductory packages from the Ontario Catholic Schools Trustees’ Association (OCSTA) were distributed to the schools. In response to Trustee A. da Silva’s inquiry concerning teacher commitment and support of Catholic education, Associate Director of Instructional Services D. Amaral identified many of the opportunities provided for staff development and support: Adult Faith Ambassador spiritual formation activities and resources supported by the Adult Faith department and Family of Schools faith opportunities. Coordinator S. Peterson elaborated that through the Catholic Board Improvement Learning Cycle, staff are provided with resources, after school professional development opportunities and ongoing support. Renewal of the elementary Religious Education program provides teachers with rich resources. Trustee da Silva would like to do more and suggested clarification of the standards around faith and behaviour and for the board to develop and share the faith through experiences, possibly a conference. Associate Director D. Amaral indicated Instructional Services Council will review.

Trustee L. del Rosario passed the Chair to Trustee A. da Silva

14. Trustee L. del Rosario requested her questions be copied into the minutes. “As you may have heard, Traffic Safety Committee was at the corner of Mavis & Lafayette this morning. Mrs. Tina Chappette-Sacchetti was already at the corner when I arrived at 8 a.m. The three traffic safety committee including Sheelagh Duffin were watching from way back from the corner. Few more parents joined shortly after. Here are the main issues:

1. The intersection of Mavis and Lafayette, the parents consider as unsafe to cross even for grades 7 and 8 due to the speed of 70 km per hour. As we stood at the corner of Mavis & Lafayette, we counted forty students crossed this corner both on south and the north side. One of those forty students was a kindergarten child. I approached the mother and confirmed that she is going to St. Valentine and apparently was not entitled to busing. They live behind the St. Gertrude School. It was confirmed by traffic safety this morning that the intersection of Mavis and Bristol is unsafe for the kids to cross. I asked the question, what is the difference between Mavis and Bristol and Mavis and Lafayette, which is really just one traffic stop difference. Her response was due to the construction on Bristol as well as the big Lowe's store at the corner; they felt it is unsafe for the kids to cross that intersection.

2. Mavis Road actually curves from Bristol to Lafayette so if the weather is not clear there is a strong possibility that a small child crossing may easily be missed.

3. As we stood I the corner, Mrs. Chappette-Sacchetti was also taking the number of cars turning right and turning left from Lafayette Street and from Preston Manor to Mavis Road. Between 8 am and 8:30 a.m., when the kids were trying to cross, there were many cars turning and some of them are actually turning very fast. One parent, a tall man, walked her daughter to cross the street and on his way back, I actually thought he was going to be hit because there was a car turning left from Preston Manor and then another car turning right from Lafayette.

4. It is also my understanding that under the Highway Traffic Act that a crossing guard cannot be placed on Mavis Road because they deem it as unsafe due to speed of the road.

5. Due to the speed on Mavis Road, which I think you know, the 70 km is probably about 80 km to 90 when cars drive on this road. The parents are concerned that because of this

Page 46: * Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board 26, 2017Revised.pdfRegular Board Meeting, September 26, 2017 Remembering our Deceased Kenneth Gauthier, father-in-law of Henry Vandervoort,

F 4 Pg. 7

Minutes – Faith and Program Committee Meeting – September 12, 2017

speed a child standing on the corner waiting to cross could easily be hit by a car that may lose control or any freak accident.

6. While standing at the corner this morning, Bus #4 going to St. Valentine was stop while waiting for the traffic light to turn to green. I asked the driver to open the door for me and I identified myself. He came from Rosedale Street and the bus is not full. Apparently, there were other buses that go by and they are not full.

7. One other item that was mentioned to me this morning was PLASP apparently called a lot of the St. Gertrude parents to pull out their kids as they are over capacity. Please confirm if this is true as I remember during transition meetings that the children from St. Gertrude were guaranteed spaces.

8. The question the parents are asking is since their school was closed and it is evident how dangerous it is to cross Mavis Road, whether coming from Bristol, Lafayette or Avonwick, why can the board provide busing to the kids from St. Gertrude especially when they see that the buses passing by are not full.”

Associate Director Amaral advised STOPR spends September ensuring that students eligible for busing are on the bus and the alignment to resource efficiencies. Once sorted out, they examine non-immediate items such as stops and courtesy busing. Empty buses occur at this time of year as parents drive their bus eligible children to school.

Director of Education M. Mazzorato advised staff await the recommendation of the Traffic Safety Council to STOPR. The next step would be to review the policy.

Trustee F. Di Cosola commented that it is critical for the Traffic Safety Council to deem the intersection unsafe.

Director Marianne Mazzorato advised that if trustees were to make an exception to the transportation policy that has a budget implication, the identification of the funding source to cover the increased transportation cost would be required.

Trustee E. O’Toole inquired if the busing costs would be covered under the closing school funding. Director of Education advised that would be one time, non-sustained funding. Staff will investigate.
