NOTE: Only special education students in self-contained classrooms are specified in the projections, otherwise they are included in grade totals

The data show that since 2006-07, the enrolment at Edward Murphy School for the Core Program has fluctuated with gains and losses from a high of 199 students (in 2007-08) to an enrolment of 139 students in 2010-11. This represents an overall drop of 60 students.

In the graphs that follow, the population data provide historic counts by age (including births and preschoolers) of all children that have lived in the St. Brendan’s, Nesbitt’s Core Program and Edward Murphy’s Core Program catchment area for each year. From Census data, Baragar noted that there is a positive assumption in births supported by the fact that there were considerably more women aged 20 to 34 living in all of these catchment areas in 2009 than there were in 2001. However, in four years time, it is not known how many of these children will be eligible to attend English school because of Laws 101, 105 and 115. The 2010 birth registry data for Quebec will not be available to Baragar until the summer of 2011.

Based on September 30, 2010 enrolment figures, the difference between the number of student places available and that required for St. Brendan School, Edward Murphy School and Nesbitt School Core Program is 1143. The consolidation of the population of elementary schools offering the Core Program in this area of the network would ensure a more efficient use of the space at either the Nesbitt facilities or Edward Murphy and offers greater educational resources for the population. As St. Brendan and Nesbitt are designated as Inner City Schools Category III, relocated students would continue to benefit from the Inner City grants and subsidies.


D. PROPOSED NEW CORE PROGRAM BOUNDARY FOR THE CONSOLIDATION OF ENROLMENT OF ST. BRENDAN WITH EDWARD MURPHY AND/OR NESBITT CORE PROGRAM AND NEW DISTINCT BOUNDARY

A distinct boundary is annexed in its entirety to another distinct boundary, whereas a program boundary can be subject to division. The distinct boundary determines a program boundary for a school as it is “the foundation” for the transportation territory. Therefore, annexing the distinct boundary of St. Brendan considers only schools whose distinct boundaries are adjacent to St. Brendan’s distinct territory (Nesbitt, General Vanier, Dante, Edward Murphy). Using September 30, 2010 enrolment data, consideration of the school that most of the students who live in St. Brendan’s distinct boundary (page 10) go to, is taken into account regardless of the program the schools offer (Nesbitt - 23 students). Consequently, a proposed new Core Program boundary must “totally overlap” the new proposed distinct boundary. The proposed annex of St. Brendan’s distinct boundary has to be considered first before determining a proposed Core program boundary.

In Scenario 1, the distinct boundary of St. Brendan is annexed to Nesbitt’s distinct boundary and to the new proposed Core Program boundary for Nesbitt. All conditions previously stated above are met. In Scenario 2, consideration is given that St. Brendan’s enrolment will be consolidated with Edward Murphy. Consequently, the proposed Core Program boundary for Edward Murphy must “totally overlap” the new distinct boundary that integrates St. Brendan’s distinct boundary and no other Core Program boundary can overlap St. Brendan’s distinct boundary. Ignoring the fact that most students in St. Brendan’s distinct boundary go to Nesbitt, St. Brendan’s distinct boundary is annexed to General Vanier because it also offers an extended-French Program and has the next most students going there.


Scenario 1 St. Brendan School’s enrolment will be consolidated with the Core Program enrolment at the

Nesbitt facility, the Core Program boundary for St. Brendan be annexed to the Nesbitt Core Program boundary, and the St Brendan distinct boundary be annexed to Nesbitt School.

The proposed new Core Program boundary for Nesbitt School Core Program (Scenario 1) would be as follows:

North – Waterfront South – Waterfront East – Lacordaire (Dalkeith) to Charleroi to Masse (both sides) to Des Grandes

Prairies (railway) to Champ d’Eau (both sides) to Hwy. 40 to Hwy. 25 to Beaubien (Dalkeith/Edward Murphy) to Lacordaire to Rosemont (Edward Murphy) to de l’Assomption (both sides) to Sherbrooke (Edward Murphy)

Therefore, the Nesbitt facility would be able to house both Core Program enrolments (total 278 Core Program students plus the 264 French Immersion students, capacity 760). The combined enrolment of St. Brendan and Nesbitt Core Program is plotted in the map above.


The proposed new distinct boundary for Nesbitt (Scenario 1) would be as follows: North – Des Carriers (P.E. Trudeau) to d’Iberville (both sides) to St. Zotique (P.E.

E. CRITERIA

• St. Brendan School has a low enrolment and a decline in enrolment at St. Brendan School is projected for subsequent years.

• St. Brendan, Edward Murphy and Nesbitt offer the Core Program. • Nesbitt School’s Core Program has a low enrolment and a decline in enrolment at Nesbitt

is projected for subsequent years. • Edward Murphy’s Core Program has a low enrolment and a decline in enrolment at

Edward Murphy School is projected for subsequent years. • In reviewing the inventory of elementary school facilities within the EMBS network and

recognizing that the elementary enrolment will continue to decline, the St. Brendan facility may be better suited to house an older clientele instead of continuing to house an elementary one.

• Both Nesbitt and Edward Murphy Schools have large program boundaries for Core and French Immersion.

• Regardless the scenario, schools offering the Core Program will have large program boundaries.

• The consolidation of the Core Program enrolment in this area would ensure a more efficient use of the space at either facility and offer greater resources for the population.

• The enrolment at St. Brendan is small and the students can be accommodated in either school facility easily.

• There are 81 students of the EMSB living in the Distinct boundary of St. Brendan of which 23 students go to Nesbit and 1 student goes to Edward Murphy.

• Noting which school most students go to, the distinct boundary of St. Brendan is annexed in its entirety to either Nesbitt’s (for Scenario 1) or to General Vanier’s (for Scenario 2) distinct boundary.

• To consider Scenario 2, the fact that most students who live in St. Brendan’s distinct boundary go to Nesbitt must be ignored.

• On determining proposed Core Program boundaries for the phasing-in period of 2012-17, both scenarios have a new proposed Core Program Boundary that totally overlaps a respective new proposed distinct boundary for Nesbitt (Scenario 1) and General Vanier (Scenario 2).

• Financial considerations: Based on the salary scale as of April 2010*, there would be savings in the order of

$207,490 which include the following: secretary (1), caretaking staff (1.5), principal (1), library technician (0.2).

*An agreement in principal on salaries, pension plans and parental rights was reached in June 2010. The 5-year collective agreement provides for fixed salary increases of 6.0% and variable increases based on economic growth (up to 3.5%) and inflation (1%) for a potential total of 10.5%. At the time of writing this document, it is unknown when these increases will be in effect.
