Possible criteria could include but is not limited to:
Criteria (could include but should not be limited to the following)
● Viability of Program – How many students are required to offer and maintain program in an educationally sound and fiscally responsible way?
● Proximity to schools -- Are opportunities for walk-to schools being maximized, school routes safe, and natural boundaries incorporated into the proposed options?
● Portables and Portapaks -- Are students being accommodated in permanent facilities and is the use of portable classrooms minimized in the proposed options?
● Balance of overall enrolment -- Is student access to programs, resources and extracurricular opportunities being maximized? Is over and underutilization of buildings avoided to the extent possible?
● Stable, long-term boundaries -- Do the projections show long term stability and result in avoiding the need for additional boundary changes in the short term?
● Transportation -- Does the option demonstrate cost effective transportation?
● Fiscally Responsible -- Does the option strive to reduce unnecessary costs?
● Student Experience -- Does the option demonstrate an effort to reduce the number of school moves students have experienced? Are cohorts kept together?
● Other -- Any other criteria recommended by the Boundary Review Steering Committee or Boundary Review Committee
