FSL Review - 2012 Goal: To achieve high quality, sustainable French language instruction in YRDSB Outcomes:  Consistency of programming  Toolkit to address need for FI spaces and enable long-term accommodation plan

French Immersion in York Region DSB  Maintain Grade 1 entry  No capping  FI program offered in a variety of settings  Single Track  Dual Track  Primary Dual Track (Gr 1, Gr 1-2, Gr 1-3 grade structure)  This allows for the flexibility needed to address local needs across the Region  Ministry will not fund the Board where empty pupil places exist

Location of FI Primary Dual Track Schools 2018-19 School Year

FI Accommodation Plan: Mazo de la Roche PS  Create a Primary Dual Track at Prince Charles PS in 2019 for incoming grade 1 French Immersion students from the Mazo de la Roche PS French Immersion boundary  Students would return back to Mazo de la Roche PS for grades 2-8 French Immersion  The boundary will not be altered for this change
