Pupil Accommodation Review Process – APF008

Reviewed/Revised: June 2024

PURPOSE

The purpose of this administrative procedure is to outline the process to be followed when conducting a Pupil Accommodation Review (i.e., school consolidation or closure review).

School boards are responsible for managing their school capital assets in an effective manner. They must respond to changing demographics and program needs while ensuring continued student achievement and well-being, and the financial viability/sustainability of the school board.

A Pupil Accommodation Review is conducted when the school board is proposing the relocation (in any school year or over a number of school years) of students or grades, in which the number of students or enrolment of the grades is equal to or more than 50% of the school’s enrolment. This calculation is based on the enrolment at the time of the relocation, or the first phase of relocation carried over a number of school years.

When the school board is proposing the relocation (in any school year or over a number of school years) of students or grades, in which the number of students or enrolment of the grades is less than 50% of the school’s enrolment, APF017 – Boundary Review Process is used to direct the conduct of a Boundary Review.
