Following several weeks of negotiations with both EMSB (English Montreal School Board) officials and other school board authorities including Yves Bolduc, Quebec\u2019s Minister of Education, local CSDM (Commission Scholaire de Montr\u00e9al) school commissioner Marie-Jos\u00e9e Mastromonaco told The Suburban<\/i> that students from the borough\u2019s heavily damaged St. Catherine de Sienne primary school will be sent to the CSDM\u2019s new St. Raymond\u2019s primary school for at least the next two years. <\/p>\n

\u201cFor at least two years, students [and staff] from St. Catherine de Sienne will be sharing the new school with students from the local [St. Raymond\u2019s] district,\u201d said Mastromonaco. \u201cDepending upon how much space they use, I think that there should be plenty of space left for everybody.\u201d <\/p>\n

As reported in recent issues of The Suburban, CSDM school board authorities decided to close St. Catherine de Sienne for at least two years in order to repair extensive damage that was the result of a serious leak in the school\u2019s roof that went on to rot the building\u2019s second floor support beams along with a few walls and other parts of the school.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nWhile parents continued to be concerned about the safety and health of their children who were still expected to complete their school year amid the school\u2019s present decrepit facilities, CSDM school board authorities were forced to consider what could be done for the nearly 300 children who would need both a new school and a new classroom in time for next September.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFollowing a number of meetings with the city\u2019s EMSB, school board officials from both the EMSB and the CSDM considered a number of options that would include everything from re-opening the EMSB\u2019s St. John Bosco in the nearby Ville \u00c9mard District to opening up empty classrooms in Marymount High School that\u2019s located on the C\u00f4te St. Luc Road.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a lot of discussion,\u201d said Mastromonaco,\u201d…but in the end, we decided that sending all of the St. Catherine kids to the new school would be the best option for everybody.\u201d <\/p>\n

Located on the Upper Lachine Road across the street from the Georges St. Pierre Park, the school is still under construction even as school board authorities insist that it will be ready for occupation in a few months\u2019 time. While the new school was originally meant to help create some new space for the CSDM\u2019s already crowded schools and classrooms, even Mastromonaco admits that nothing much can be done about the school board\u2019s crowded schools until the old school is properly restored, renovated and ready for a new generation of young students. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not the ideal solution,\u201d said Mastromonaco, \u201c…but this is the only way that we can make sure that all of the students who live in NDG get to stay in the borough.\u201d
