• ISSUES AND CHALLENGES
• Capacity and Utilization
• The trend for the Toronto Catholic District
  School Board has been declining numbers in
  student enrolment
• The decline results in an increase of surplus
  space in schools that have more capacity than is
  required for the number of students enrolled
• In 2000/2001, 14 of our elementary schools were
  below 60 with none being below 60 in our
  secondary schools
• In 2005/2006, 156 of our elementary schools were
  above 60 capacity and 15 were at or below 60
  capacity
• In 2005/2006, 30 of our secondary schools were
  above 60 capacity and 2 were at or below 60
  capacity
