Updates - Part III

I have received a question (or two) about the re-allocation of Attendance Area in the CEOPs presentation document below. The school zones show some different boundaries than we are used to.

First - this is way ahead of the process. No decisions have been made about the school closures and won't be for months to come.

If the proposed recommendation for closure is accepted by the Trustees, then the proposed attendance area would likely be as well. It is Mr. Barkley's stance that each family's circumstance would be examined on a case by case basis but that in general, it is accepted that a student would continue at the school where they started.

Again, focusing on the preliminary nature of the proposals, there still might be amendments made to the walk zones or clauses added to the recommendations that say a student can stay at their originating school if its desired. There is still the public forum for any concerns as outlined in the proposal document on page 56. If you want to provide input suggesting alternatives to the attendance area map that has been proposed, let me know and I will look into the best way of getting your opinion heard.
