SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AREAS
The Board accepts its
responsibility for establishing attendance zones in such a way as to facilitate
the educational program. Advance
planning for new sites and buildings will be guided by the following criteria
in determining school attendance boundaries:
1. Educational
needs of students
2. Proximity of
students to school plants
3. Safety of
students
4. Ages of
students
5. Nature of the
educational program
6. Racial/ethnic
balance
7. Availability
of transportation
The Board so accepts the
principle of "controlled free zoning," for school attendance as
follows:
1.
Students living in any given attendance area have first choice for
school membership in that area.
2.
Where unused pupil stations exist, pupils in other areas may apply for
membership up to the limit of the rated capacity of the school plant.
3.
Students choosing the option in (2) shall make written application
stating reasons for said application.
4.
Students choosing the option in (2) may have to provide their own
transportation to school and back home.
5.
Students choosing the option in (2) will agree to stay a minimum of one year in their chosen
school.
