An Aside:
The Board has used the Maple Lane School as a venue for offices and professional learning for several years and used the Seneca building (now torn down, site sold to a developer) for the same purpose before that. When I learned that they were planning to move to Crestmount I assumed (naively) that they would retrofit the existing building as they have done elsewhere. It never occurred to me that they were planning to spend 10s of millions of education (i.e. taxpayer) dollars on demolition and the cost of a new office building 100 m from Limeridge Mall. It would be interesting to see a cost analysis of financing and constructing a new building on the Mountain vs. renting existing office space in the core.
