their is too many kids and not enough schools so why close it . its cheaper to fix a little then it is to build a new . but yet you want to just cram more kids in to schools , its hard enough to teach kids as it is some kids need a little more attention then others no wounder some kids get left behind because of the dumb city school boards and the politicians

This appears to be a decision based on faulty logic. Projected enrollment indicate that the need for this school will not diminish, and their are not tangible cost savings to warrant the loss of the school in Ainslie Wood neigbourhood.

These are community schools, so the social and emotional benefits are uncalcuable, besides the education, plus overcrowing other schools and spending on construction costs it does not seem logical to close them. crease this will have if you close the schools. Also consider the carbon footprint and the in please check the figures you are using, they are not correct, so please keep these schools open.

There is NO reason to close a great school with a set of values and traditions in a heart of our neighbourhood. My youngest daughter Maya was graduated from this school in 2010.
Looks like a certain party wants to get an ownership of the school's grounds for land development.

I attended the meeting @ the former Lawn Bowling meeting house,and listened to the plea of parents,heard Brian McHattie our local Councillor,and heard the young bell ringers from Prince Phillip School. With such an earnest request to keep a school open surely we would be doing an injustice to the neighbourhood to close a school which has full enrollment. If we need funds for schools that will service our newly expanded neighbourhoods I would just like to say why was that not thought of before?

Prince Philip School MUST stay open so that many families with small children have a school in their immediate area! The idea to close P.P. is inappropriate as is the idea to crowd them all in at G.R. Allen. We need 3 is the only viable choice for this community!!!

There is not only inside overcrowding issues, but exterior issues as well - already there is a problem with all the cars in the neighbourhood, as the parents drop off their children, wait to ensure their safety, help them cross the roads, etc. Busier means more risk to safety.

fI the board and city are really interested in developing vital and healthy neighborhoods, the closing of Prince Philip School would be a big mistake. Do they not know the history behind West Hamilton and Emerson was like the old Main Street of West Hamilton. When are we going to embrace our history instead of ignore and destroy it.

Years ago class rooms took a boost in student numbers. More students per class room does not help promote better education. Now we are loosing schools within good communities. Communities that work for the health and wellness of all their members, especially the children. Communities that do promote better education. Communities that do not rely on higher risk transportation and higher risk population density that will result when more kids continue to be pushed into less schools. Stop the cycle

My son is 2.5 years old and will go to this school in a couple years. I don't want him having to travel across Main St. W. in order to go to school. This school is a necessity for the well-being of the neighborhood and to ensure new families move in, not to have housing sold to people looking to rent to University students.

As a retired teacher I think it is essential to keep Prince Philip open to preserve the already threatened community neighbourhood. Bussing students to George R Allan would not be good for them and certainly not good for the environs of GRA. Traffic in the area is already totally congested when school is entering and leaving without extra buses.

Closing Prince Philip will be another nail in the coffin of the Ainslie Wood community. Our neighborhood is already run over with student housing and absentee slumlords. Not having a school will further discourage families from moving into this wonderful area.

Current justification of the board proposal lacks credible validation. Expenditures are overly dependent on ministry funding which may not be there given current cost control initiatives at the Provincial Government level.
The final costs fall to the same taxpayer and the solution proposed by the HWDSB Staff does not seem to as fiscally responsible a proposal as that of the ARC Committee.

Busing students from the Prince Philip School area is a bad idea. Furthermore, the lack of an elemntary school in this area discourages families from locating here, and sends the idea this area is meant to be for lodging houses for mac students.
