Future of The School
Barrie Central Collegiate and the four other secondary schools in Barrie are currently involved in an Accommodation Review Process, to create a recommendation to submit to the Simcoe Country School Board, deciding the fate of Barrie Central. The Accommodation Review Committee (ARC), will either recommend that Barrie Central remain open, or be closed due to costs of repair to the building. There is a strong will from within the school and in the surrounding community to keep Barrie Central open. The Simcoe County School Board Trustees will make a decision in March or April 2011.
On June 2nd, 2011 the Simcoe County District School Board of trustees decided that Barrie Central Collegiate will remain open for at least another five years. Its future relies upon the school board forming solid partnerships by September 30, 2014.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or school:
“For a parent, it’s hard to recognize the significance of your work when you’re immersed in the mundane details. Few of us, as we run the bath water or spread the peanut butter on the bread, proclaim proudly, “I’m making my contribution to the future of the planet.” But with the exception of global hunger, few jobs in the world of paychecks and promotions compare in significance to the job of parent.”
—Joyce Maynard (20th century)
“We are all adult learners. Most of us have learned a good deal more out of school than in it. We have learned from our families, our work, our friends. We have learned from problems resolved and tasks achieved but also from mistakes confronted and illusions unmasked. . . . Some of what we have learned is trivial: some has changed our lives forever.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
