Administrative Procedure 357
STUDENT RELOCATION Background District students generally attend their designated home school, the school that services the neighbourhood in which the parent/legal guardian resides. In addition, the district uses boundaries strategically to ensure optimal student populations that support viable programming across district schools. Definition Relocation refers to student transfer where the move to another school is a choice. This may be a function of student, parent/legal guardian or school recommendation. Relocation is only undertaken when parents/legal guardians are in full agreement with the relocation of the student. Student relocation example: Reason for Relocation Student, parent/legal guardian or school feels that a student needs a fresh start and would do better in a new setting.
