"[11] Renovation was considered at first, but ultimately the board opted to relocate the school to a "high-tech" $18 million new facility on Devon Road.
[11] The debate spread beyond public complaints and into the legal realm: a police investigation was opened to review the board's actions, but no misconduct was found and no charges were laid.
"[14] The new building, designed by local architect Andrew Bruce,[15] features a stylized brick facade in the main atrium that mimics the roofline of the original school on Reynolds Street.
[16] In September 2022, the school was the subject of an international controversy after a transgender teacher was filmed teaching a class wearing large prosthetic breasts with protruding nipples.
[25][26] In January 2023, Halton District School Board reversed its position, and announced a dress code for teachers beginning in March 2023.
[27] The teacher who was the subject of the controversy has since left Oakville Trafalgar and accepted a position at Nora Frances Henderson Secondary School in nearby Hamilton.
