A school is a building too much money is wasted in "beautifying" things just like the cities - functionally they all work as long as the teachers do.

Closing Parkside will only make that worse. Local businesses will suffer as Parkside is walking distance, Highland is not. New schools pale by comparison to the space, quality of construction thus ambience of older schools. The status qou is the best option as geographic and existing infrastructure factors eliminate alternate sites for a new school. Closing this school has been discussed for at least 30 years. There is a reason it's still open, it's a lousy idea to close it! Why not embrace the fact that it is a beautiful school in an ideal setting, pay for the upkeep and stop waving the axe over the chopping block once and for all.

]]> Sun, 24 Jun 2012 08:42:52 UTC 13174731 Mr Jed Gardner [Signature #152] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13174692?utm_medium=rss Parkside is in the midst of a growing affluent area. Dundas is fast becoming a very sought after place to live for young upwardly mobile families. The strength of a community is shaped by the institutions within it. Property values are soaring and removing this school from the heart of the driving park will make this area a less desirable place to live.

This is a growing community with significant new development. It makes no sense to take away this high school at this time. This is a short sighted attempt to save money in the short term that will cost more in the long term.

Besides which, the Dundas driving park should be a model of parks for everyone to copy not something to dismantle.

Anyone who has ever visited is struck by the brilliance of a park that integrates toddlers (splash pad and wadding pool) ,seniors (lawn bowling ,tennis club), children (sports fields play structures), families (picnic areas, greenspace) high school students (Parkside). Visitors to the area have commented on the remarkable synergy that is created by this marvelous mix of generations.

This is a community that is not only working but thriving and it makes no sense to dismantle it.

They have, to date, experienced a full, rewarding, well-rounded student-life. I do not want my children attending a "mega school" which they are unable to access without utilization of motorized transportation. There is a beautiful, functional school - Parkside, in existence. Parkside is within walking distance, which is suitable to the surrounding neighborhood and community. The neighborhood surrounding Parkside is growing; this area has become a highly sought after area for YOUNG FAMILIES who are wishing to access the downtown and amenities which are in close proximity and within WALKING DISTANCE. I believe if the HWDSB is to listen to the community and tax payers they would keep Parkside open.

Closing Parkside will not only have a negative impact on the Dundas community as a whole, but will have a negative impact on the student community. It is not more technology and apparati which generates student success but committed teachers, supportive parents and relevant or stimulating learning experiences

As well, the cost of building the expansion will be fully manageable and not wasteful. Why put students in a sub-standard building and portables at another location that has few athletic facilities and potentially serious traffic issues? The reasons for keeping Parkside open are many; the reasons for closing Highland are obvious.

Parkside to a great extent has been the victim of "planning by neglect." Lack on ongoing attention to the building infrastructure has, in hindsight seemed intentional such that the recommendation to close Parkside became a foregone conclusion. Today Dundas has the hightest per centage of seniors of any community in Hamilton. However in a decade the current trickle of young families moving into Dundas will become a flood. For the future retaining Parkside, in the core of the community, is the right decision.

It is also a good size. Millions have been spent on studies on how children best learn and it is NOT in huge, impersonal edifices that serve the purpose of the administration over the needs of the students. Parkside has been deliberately neglected for years. My daughter, attended this school and she was able to walk there - another non gas guzzling advantage. Highway 99 at Highland School is already a nightmare in the morning with vehicle congestion.

Highland is peripheral, and with urban intensification likely to remain increasingly so.

The size and dedicated teachers at Parkside have meant that our children can find this support, which would be difficult in a much larger school. Please do not close Parkside.

Complementing outstanding faculty was a setting that it so very rare. Cradled beneath the escarpment amidst the vibrancy of the park, our education certainly went beyond the confines of the conventional classroom.

For me, the setting of the school was profound - such a stage opened my eyes to the idea that achievement went much further than a particular grade on a paper. I was continually reminded of the importance of a vibrant community, a flourishing greenspace and of meaningful interaction with one's neighbours.

Present planning and zoning bylaws will never allow such an opportunity to be realized again. If the current logic prevails, we will likely be left with yet another condominium as a cold and stark reminder of opportunity lost.

And the spirit of the place will change.

This is certainly an ideal time to look beyond the cold numbers of a balance sheet. For it is not those numbers that will yield young people with a vision towards accomplishment, community and well-being.

When calculating the return on the investment, make sure you have your eye on the right kind of return.

The Governors Road or Highland site has poor access combined with an already congested road

Closing Parkside will not only cause more traffic on Govenors Road, but will also hurt several local businesses that depend on students. (Examples: Masters 2 for 1 Pizza, Tony Shawarma)
