"System Class change: Close two elementary English gifted classes.

Rationale:

a)  The projected enrolment in the grade 3/4 gifted English class at
Hawthorne Public School is 5 students all of whom will be grade 4
students. The 5 students in this class can be accommodated at Mutchmor
E.S. There will continue to be grade 5/6 and grade 7/8 gifted English
classes with enrolments of 23 and 24 respectively at Hawthorne.

b)  The projected enrolment in the grade 7/8 gifted English class at
Henry Munro Middle School is 6 students all of whom will be grade 8
students. The 6 students can be accommodated at Hawthorne Public School
or another gifted site in their designated attendance area. There will
no other gifted classes at Henry Munro Middle School."


The Hawthorne Parent Council has voiced their concerns in a letter
distributed to the community - a copy is available here:
