Schools Closed to Out-of-Boundary Students
Board Policy BA-7.1, Student Accommodation Planning, and Administrative Regulation BA-7.1.2, Student Transfers, identifies that schools may be closed to out-of-boundary students, where the accommodation and staffing capacities have been reached or are expected to be reached.
What does it mean when a school is Closed to Out-of-Boundary students?
When a school is closed to out-of-boundary students, this means that only students living within the school's geographical boundary are eligible to attend that school. To access school boundary information, visit the school directory on the Find a School page or enter your home address into the Find a School app to locate the in-boundary school where your child(ren) is eligible to attend.
Closing schools to out-of-boundary students provides staff with an improved ability to monitor and manage accommodation pressures. Schools are closed to out-of-boundary students based on the current enrolment projections, existing school capacities, classroom utilization, availability of portable classrooms and holding or overflow school designations. This list on this page will be reviewed annually, and changes will be made as necessary.
