When the Trustees on December 15 2009, voted 10 to 2 to keep Rideau HS open they also tasked the board staff to develop a plan to address the low enrolment/student flight/student retention.
On February 16 staff will be presenting Report No. 10-035 Re: Interim Report on the Comprehensive Plan to Address Long Term Enrolment Issues in Secondary Schools to the Education Committee

Few immediate detailed steps in this report. Basically a recommendation for 1.5 additional staff costing $154,000 and up to $15,000 for a communications strategy.
The section Strategies for Rideau High School is a start but needs a lot of detailed fleshing out and needs to go beyond report speak to actual on the ground implementation. I'll use the comments section at the bottom of the main article to address specific issues.
