 The Southwest Central Oakville Residents Association (SCORA) was formed in 2008 to protest the school board's "disregard" for the natural setting, the elimination of grass sports fields, the addition of asphalt parking lots, the removal of "hundreds" of trees from the location, and the plans for "mega-lights" on the sports field.SCORA maintained that these factors would negatively impact both the character and property values of the surrounding neighbourhoods.During the 2008-2009 school year, a series of portables were installed in the area formerly occupied by the school's sports field.
