Calgary Catholic School District Three-Year Capital Plan 2020–2023 Summary 1

Introduction

The Calgary Catholic School District (CCSD) 2020–2023 Capital Plan consideration includes requests for a total of 24 projects composed of the following:

These capital priorities are revisited annually, based on growth/development trends, allowing the district to re-spond to emerging opportunities. CCSD strives to ensure success for all students through student accommodation, partnerships and a strengthened sense of community within the district.

The district continues to experience upward enrolment pressures, though not as aggressive as previous years, in Calgary and surrounding areas such as Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere, Rocky View County and the M.D of Big-horn. These trends are complimented by natural growth rates found in metropolitan regions. Although the district is currently building previously funded schools, this Capital Plan includes CCSD priorities from previ-ous years, as well as additional projects to support the growth in regular programs and specialized programs for Catholic students. Each of these projects contribute to the success of the district and success of the students that embark on their education through our programs and guidance. Outlined in this summary, CCSD seeks

to meet the expectations of quality education for the citi-zens of Alberta, on behalf of the Alberta government.

CCSD stands at an overall preliminary district utilization rate of 86.1% per cent for the 2018/2019 school year. The district has many schools that are well above this rate and over 100 per cent utilization. Given the construction of additional spaces, community development plays a powerful role in absorbing additional capacity found through the delivery of new school sites. Resulting utili-zation rates are projected to stabilize and trend towards optimal in some of these communities with newly built schools, while others are projected to still be in need of community educational opportunities.

The district continues to contend with multiple chal-lenges that may be addressed through critical modern-izations to sustain and bring older facilities up to 21st century standards, as a viable portion of the overall district growth remains in established and maturing communities.
