At the Regular Meeting of the Board of Education held on December 8, 2015, the Board voted to adopt changes to Policy 5084 (Application to Enter Choice Programs). The significant changes to the policy include:

  • Moving to an online registration process for entry to a choice program in the following school year;
  • Limiting a parent’s choice to a maximum of two programs;
  • Application 11 months prior to entry point into the program
  • Changing the priority ranking for accepting students to a choice program to favour Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍø resident students;
  • A random draw process for selecting eligible students when there are more applicants than seats for a particular choice program.
