The Calgary Board of Education is taking another step toward closing the school site of a unique program that provides high school education and childcare for pregnant teens and young moms.
The Louise Dean Centre operates out of a 75-year-old building in the northwest community of West Hillhurst, but board officials have proposed the school and its operations move to the Jack James High School, in the southeast community of Forest Lawn.There are 47 students at the Louise Dean Centre.One graduate of the program says there are concerns about moving to a new location and sharing a building with another high school.
Hernandez-Urbina, now an eyelash extension artist, credits the centre for additional counselling and family skills courses.Kindred, which operates childcare services and also provides courses and counselling at Louise Dean Centre, says the school's needs have changed over the 50-year partnership. In an emailed statement on Wednesday, the Calgary Board of Education says"the potential move of the Louise Dean program to Jack James High School will increase academic opportunities for both students and their partners, as well as continued support from our partners."
The renovation plan also includes a childcare centre, a new outdoor play area, medical exam rooms, expanded counselling offices and classrooms among other changes.
