5. Since 1998, school boards can no longer raise taxes to generate funding – today funding is received from the Ministry of Education through an enrolment-based funding formula and through special project specific grants. The TDSB does not receive sufficient funds to address all its construction needs (to build additions and new schools, and improve specialized spaces such as science labs). The TDSB does not receive sufficient funds to keep all its facilities in good condition – every year maintenance is deferred. 5 Why is the TDSB selling sites? Sale of the Vincent Massey Site

6. Why is the TDSB selling sites? In June 2013, the TDSB approved a capital plan that prioritizes capital projects throughout the city – including much-needed renovations and new schools. As requested by the Ministry of Education, the capital plan also shows how we will fund these projects by reducing surplus capacity within the system to generate revenue. The TDSB is generating revenue by selling previously closed schools and portions of properties. 6 Sale of the Vincent Massey Site continued

7. The revenue generated will be used to pay for the capital plan that focusses on: –renewing components of aging buildings (boilers, windows and roofs); –building additions and new schools that are serving growing neighborhoods; and, –improving schools that are receiving more students as a result of a boundary change or a school closure. 7 Why is the TDSB selling sites? Sale of the Vincent Massey Site continued

8. Vincent Massey Site is Surplus to the Needs of the TDSB 8 The Vincent Massey site is 2.7 acres in size and is located north of Lake Shore Boulevard West and west of Kipling Avenue. The TDSB schools designated to serve the students who live in the vicinity of the Vincent Massey site are: Twentieth Street JS, James S Bell JM SWA, and Lakeshore CI. The Vincent Massey school was constructed in 1929 and was closed in 1983 due to declining enrolment. The Vincent Massey site is currently leased to the Vincent Massey Child Care and the Canadian Ukrainian Immigrant Aid Society.

9. 9 On June 20, 2013, the TDSB decided that it no longer requires the Vincent Massey site because: 1.there are existing operating schools within acceptable walking distances to serve the residents of the area; 2.there are existing operating schools in the area that can be expanded should the local enrolment increase significantly in the future; Sale of the Vincent Massey Site Source: TDSB Strategy and Planning; City of Toronto Geospatial Competency Centre Vincent Massey Site is Surplus to the Needs of the TDSB

10. 10 3.the Vincent Massey building is small (147 pupil places) and will be inefficient to re- open and operate for TDSB uses (the TDSBs preferred elementary school size is at least 450 students); and 4.the Vincent Massey building is aging (84 years old) and will require costly renovations to re-open for TDSB uses (the estimated renewal needs of the building over the next 5 years is $2.1 Million).

12. Role of the Toronto Lands Corporation The Toronto Lands Corporation (TLC) was created in September 2007, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the TDSB to professionally manage, lease and sell properties declared surplus by the TDSB. In selling or leasing a property, the TLC follows rules contained in Regulation 444/98, Disposition of Real Surplus Property. As per Regulation 444/98, the TLC follows a two-step process to lease or sell a property: –Step 1: Offer Property to Other Public Sector Organizations; and –Step 2: Offer Property to the Open Market. 12 Sale of the Vincent Massey Site

13. Step 1: Once the TDSB declares a property surplus, the TLC must offer the property to the following public sector organizations listed in order of priority: –the French-language public district school board; –the English-language separate district school board; –the French-language separate district school board; –the English/French language college; –the university whose head office is nearest to the property; –the Province of Ontario; –the City of Toronto; and, –the Federal Government of Canada. 13 Sale of the Vincent Massey Site Offer Property to other Public Sector Organizations

14. Step 1: The public sector organizations have 90 days to submit an offer. If an offer is received, the TLC is required to negotiate the sale of the property at fair market value. If no offer is received, the TLC is authorized to list the property on the open market, at fair market value; at that time, any interested purchaser can submit an offer. 14 Sale of the Vincent Massey Site Offer Property to other Public Sector Organizations continued

15. Step 2: In moving a property for sale to the open market, the TLC may engage a prequalified real estate broker to assist in the sale of the property. Offers received will be evaluated and a recommended purchaser will be approved by the TLC Board. 15 Sale of the Vincent Massey Site Offer Property to the Open Market
