​​​​卡尔加里教育局致力于为面临各种生活情况的所有学生提供量身定制的教育项目，包括怀孕和育儿的青少年。学生教育项目的核心是通过灵活的方式使学生能够成功完成高中学业，尊重个人优势并消除学习障碍。为了展示这种承诺，我们一直在探索与合作伙伴（Kindred /天主教家庭服务和阿尔伯塔卫生服务）合作，在另一个设施中继续提供Louise Dean中心​​的教育项目。

肯辛顿学校的Louise Dean中心提供专门为怀孕和育儿的青少年提供的9-12年级的专业课程。它与Kindred/Catholic Family Service（CFS）和阿尔伯塔卫生服务（AHS）合作，提供全面的支持，帮助学生完成高中学业。

2022年9月，CBE行政部门将向董事会提交一份报告，建议将Louise Dean中心搬迁至杰克詹姆斯高校，建议的开始日期为2023年9月。

此建议的原因包括：

• Louise Dean学生将能够获得增强的学习机会（如职业和技术研究以及更广泛的课程选择，以成功过渡到工作或继续深造）。
• 学生可以更多地获取和完成所需课程以获得高中文凭或证书的机会。
• 增加对印第安和英语学习支持的机会。
• 育儿合作伙伴和父亲将有更多的共同育儿机会，以及灵活的学术项目。
• 延长学期、补学分、追溯学分和灵活的项目将继续促进杰克詹姆斯高校和Louise Dean中心学生的成功高中毕业。
• 增加杰克詹姆斯高校学生的社区支持（阿尔伯塔卫生服务）和合作伙伴关系（Kindred/Catholic Family Service），以及Louise Dean学生的持续支持。
• 肯辛顿学校需要进行重大修复，远远超出了对其他CBE学校进行升级的成本。
• 杰克詹姆斯高校交通便利。

关于搬迁计划的决定将由董事会通过考虑关闭以便搬迁流程的方式做出。如果董事会在9月批准考虑搬迁，他们将在10月提供公众意见，并在2022年11月做出最后决定。

CBE还将于2022年5月25日举办虚拟信息会议，供学生、家长和社区成员参加。如有兴趣了解有关这项提议的更多信息，请按以下方式加入我们：

​​​The Calgary Board of Education is committed to providing programming tailored to the needs of all students facing a variety of life situations, including pregnant and parenting teens. At the heart of student programming is the ability to allow students to successfully complete high school through a flexible approach that honours individual strengths and removes barriers to learning. As a demonstration of that commitment, we have been exploring ways to continue offering Louise Dean Centre ​​programming, in collaboration with our partners (Kindred/Catholic Family Service and Alberta Health Services), at another facility.

The Louise Dean Centre at Kensington School provides a specialized Grade 9-12 program for pregnant and parenting teens. It operates in partnership with Kindred/Catholic Family Service (CFS) and Alberta Health Services (AHS) to provide comprehensive wrap-around supports to help students complete high school.

CBE Administration will be submitting a report to the Board of Trustees in September 2022 that recommends moving the Louise Dean Centre to Jack James High School with a proposed start date of September 2023.

There are multiple reasons for this recommendation, including the following:

• Louise Dean students would have access to enhanced learning opportunities (i.e. Career and Technology Studies and a wider offering of courses to successfully transition to the world of work or post-secondary education).
• Increased opportunities for students to access and complete their required courses for their high school diploma or certificate.
• Increased access to Indigenous and English Language Learning supports.
• Parenting partners and fathers would have more access to co-parenting opportunities as well as flexible academic programming.
• Opportunities such as extended semesters, credit recovery, retro-credits and flexible programming will continue to promote successful high school completion for both Jack James High School and Louise Dean Centre students.
• Increased access to community supports (Alberta Health Services) and partnerships (Kindred/Catholic Family Service) for Jack James High School students and ongoing access for Louise Dean students.
• Kensington School is a site that requires significant repair, far beyond the cost of upgrades to other CBE sites.
• Jack James High School is easily accessible by transportation

The decision to move the program location will be made by the Board of Trustees through the consideration of closure for the purpose of relocation process. If the Board approves considering the move in September, they will provide an opportunity for public input in October and make a final decision by November 2022.

The CBE will also be hosting a May 25 virtual information session for students, families and community members. If you are interested in learning more about this proposed move, please join us as follows: 

May 25, 2022 
6 – 7 p.m.
Microsoft Teams virtual session

The session will start with a presentation and be followed by time to respond to your questions. A recording of the session will be posted on our website for anyone who is unable to attend.

In addition to the public information session, the CBE is connecting with affected staff, students and families to understand their thoughts and perspectives on this proposed move. All of the input gathered will help us in developing an implementation plan that will be communicated publicly by November 2022, should the Board of Trustees approve moving the LDC location.​

If you have any questions following the May 25 information session, please contact the Area 4 Office at 403-777-6233 or Area4@cbe.ab.ca.
