Long Range Facilities Plan
In 2009, the Delta Board of Education requested staff to
undertake a review of its facilities, school boundaries and program
locations so that strategic directions can be established for the
future of our facilities. The process for the Facilities,
Boundaries and Program Locations review will include a formal “Long
Range Facilities Plan” report by the Facilities Branch and its
planning consultant, Stantec Consulting Ltd., along with a series of
open houses for public review and feedback.
The Long Range Facilities Plan:
- analyzes enrolment
projections, current municipal land use plans and proposed
developments, any anomalies between projected enrolment and
existing operating capacity by catchment, and stakeholder
inputs;
- analyzes facility
condition audits and seismic risk assessments;
- develops vision and
strategic planning principles;
- creates and evaluate
options that respond to the vision statement and strategic
planning principles, including boundary reviews, program
location reviews, consideration of new programs and provincial
early learning initiatives, community-appropriate facility use,
necessary facility upgrades (including seismic) and/or
replacements, and facility expansion/
decommissioning/consolidation/closure; and
- reports on the
findings.
The Open Houses were held October 27 - November 2, 2009. Information
was displayed on panels (click here

received.
The final Long Range Facilities Plan report can

Enrolment Projections
The Delta School District annually reviews its
individual schools and overall district enrolment trends, expected
newcomers to the system (kindergarten-age, cross boundary, new
residents, etc.) and migration of students in and out of school
catchments. From this data, enrolment projections are
developed which aid in the budgeting, staffing and capital planning
processes.

District by school,

School Catchments
Periodically, the boundaries of school catchments are
reviewed and occasionally adjusted to reflect population trends,
over-crowding or under-utilization of school facilities, program
changes, etc. The latest catchment maps for the four zones
making up the Delta School District and the District as a whole may be accessed by clicking on
