At the February 19, 2008 Durham District School Board Meeting, questions were raised seeking clarification regarding the reported purchase of land by the Durham District School Board in the Village of Brooklin. To clarify, Superintendent of Education/Facilities Services, David Visser, stated that the Durham District School Board has an option agreement for the secondary school site in the Village of Brooklin and the Durham District School Board has not exercised the right to purchase this property.

The Durham District School Board currently holds approximately 20 options to purchase land in various locations throughout the Region to accommodate for possible future developments.
