The Board of Trustees authorizes the Superintendent to designate, at the beginning of each new school year, the areas which each school shall serve. Students living in these areas shall attend that school, unless an application for a transfer to a School of Choice is completed and approved.

Parents or guardians wishing their children to attend a school other than the one in the area in which they reside, shall complete the School of Choice application form by the deadline date indicated on the form, for school assignment effective the following term. Acceptance in another school is subject to the availability of facilities and acceptable student enrollment in the appropriate program and grade.

Students moving from one school area to another within the Division shall not be required to change schools for the remainder of that year, provided they have attended for twenty full teaching days at the school in which they are presently enrolled, and also on the condition that the school can continue to accommodate them.
