School District 57 took a look at enrollment restrictions during last night’s (Tuesday) public meeting.
A preliminary report was originally put forward at a Committee of the Whole meeting in December, outlining schools experiencing pressures of enrolment numbers.
During the meeting, Trustees voted to have Ecole College Heights Elementary’s French Immersion Kindergarten registration kept at 20, due to factors such as teacher recruitment.
Kindergarten enrollment at Heritage Elementary will be capped at 40 which will be effective September 1, 2026.
The report provided to Trustees noted that registration has been declining at Heritage over the last several years, with September 2025 seeing 37, and 41 in 2024.
Any additional Kindergarten students would be enrolled at Foothills Elementary.
Trustees also voted in favour to purchase two portables for Heritage Elementary using Local Capital Funds, which could be ready in the fall.
Other items discussed during the public meeting include graduation rates, athletics special fund, and the 2026-2031 Strategic Plan.
