School staff and some parents from Davisville Public School have toured Vaughan Road Academy, 529 Vaughan Rd., to learn how the large now-vacant facility will accommodate the classes of Davisville school during construction of a new three-storey school at the Millwood Rd. site. This video is informative and we see Davisville principal, Shona Farrelly, in charge of the tour. Earlier this year the Toronto District School Board decided to retain VRA rather than sell it, and ultimately create a community hub of some sort there. The school has gained a certain mystique with the emergence of the rapper Drake, who attended there as a boy. Self-indulgent mid-century “launch pad” or simply stupid?
