The South East Cornerstone Public School Division has made alterations to some boundary areas as the result of a comprehensive review of school attendance boundaries to take effect the 2014-2015 school year.
The school attendance boundary review process provided the opportunity to realize efficiencies by transporting students only within their designated attendance boundary, provide clear and efficient routing and offer flexibility for students and families.
The school division will continue to provide the following as it relates to student transportation:
Grandfathering: Students currently approved within an attendance area will have the option to attend school within the original boundary or will be grandfathered to the new boundary, until the last sibling has finished the K-12 education system within the South East Cornerstone Public School Division. Essentially, students and their siblings currently approved within an attendance area who are impacted by these boundary changes will be grandfathered, meaning transportation will still be provided.
Students who wish to attend school outside of the attendance area will be afforded the Courtesy Rider Program. With the Courtesy Rider Program, students will be expected to meet the bus at an existing pick up zone; these existing pick up zones are within the new attendance area that the student wishes to attend.
New families will be afforded the Courtesy Rider Program if they wish to attend school outside of their attendance area at an existing pick up zone.
