And that the Waterloo Region District School Board undertake during the 2011/12 school year, community consultation with respect to the proposed Secondary School boundary changes between Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate Institute and Sir John A Macdonald Secondary School identified in the Interim Secondary School Boundary Report originally presented to Board May 17, 2010.
