Project 1: Three-Year Strathcona County Engagement
EIPS has hired Western Management Consultants (WMC) to facilitate these discussions
This project included multiple interconnected areas of focus. A phased approach will ensure outcomes consider the impacts on future engagement work and that year two and year three projects can respect and build on earlier decisions.
There are four areas of work to be completed within the Three-Year Strathcona County Engagement project.
- Attendance Area Clean Up – decision postponed to a later date
- Part 1 – EIPS is seeking feedback on where Brentwood Elementary students are designated for junior high. Currently, students from Brentwood Elementary are designated to Sherwood Heights Junior High and F.R. Haythorne Junior High.
- Part 2 – EIPS is seeking feedback on where students within the neighbourhoods of Lakeland Village, Summerwood and Summerwood North are designated for junior high. Currently, these students are designated to Sherwood Heights Junior High.
The final report was presented to the Board of Trustees in November 2022. A final decision has been postponed to a later date.
- French Immersion Review – decision by Nov. 30, 2023
- EIPS is seeking feedback on the French Immersion program. Specifically, EIPS is looking to have a conversation around junior high and senior high French Immersion programming within Sherwood Park and Strathcona County.

- Balance Senior High – decision by Nov. 30, 2024
- Currently, Bev Facey Community High has only one of four Sherwood Park junior high schools—F.R. Haythorne Junior High—designated as part of the school's catchment area. As such, there's an imbalance between Salisbury Composite High and Bev Facey Community High. EIPS is seeking to rebalance the attendance areas.
