PLANNING PROPOSAL
May 2017
BACKGROUND
Capacity concerns
The planning proposal addresses the growing student population in some areas of Riverside School Board.
In the 2016-2017 school year:
- 13 Kindergarten students were transferred from John Adam School due to lack of space. - At St. Lawrence School there has been a gradual increase of students, totalling 110 students over 7 years. - At William Latter School, a population growth of 53 students in the past two years has resulted in 19 of 20 classrooms being used. - At Mountainview School, there has been an increase of 39 students in the past three years, resulting in 13 of 14 classrooms being used.
Consultation results
In November 2016, Council proposed zoning changes to address these issues. During the consultation period between November 2016 and January 2017, the requests from Governing Boards, parents and Parents Committee were the following:
1. A delay to review the proposal in more detail.
2. For future Council’s planning proposals, a longer time for Governing Boards to review them.
3. Building extensions to the schools to accommodate additional students.
4. Minimizing disruption to students, specifically avoiding the transfer of students and avoiding having siblings in two schools.
5. One parent suggested moving Grade 6 students into high school.
Council responses
In response to these requests:
1. Council has delayed zoning changes until the 2018-2019 school year.
2. This new proposal will be put out for consultation in May 2017 with a public information meeting planned for October, Governing Board presentations to Council in November, and Council to adopt the proposal in November. This gives Governing Boards additional time to review the proposal.
3. Council has reviewed and discussed the requests for building extensions. However, the criteria required by the Ministry of Education (MEES) to have a building extension or new building is that a school must be full and there be no spare classrooms in any other school within 20 kilometres where students can receive the services they need. As the schools impacted by our rezoning proposal do not meet this requirement, Council will not pursue the option at this time.
It is important to note that the preparation of a demand to the MEES for the financing of a school extension requires the involvement of numerous resources to prepare the proper documentations. In addition to the school board expertise from our Educational Services, Complementary Services and Material Resources Department, we would need the assistance of an architectural firm to prepare a functional and technical program (PFT) which cost approximately $10,000 per request in professional fees. Considering the fact that we could have up to 4 schools requesting an extension and that these requests have no chance of being awarded, Council is not prepared to re-direct sums and efforts from direct services to students to finance this option.
4. The following proposal works toward reducing student transfers and minimizing having siblings in different schools.
5. Finally, research was also conducted on the pedagogical and social impact of moving Grade 6 students into high school. There is little evidence that shows a positive impact on moving the students in this kind of model. The pedagogical structure of the Quebec Educational Program calls for: grade 6 in the elementary program, grades 5 and 6 being part of a same cycle, and daycare services continue to be offered at the grade 6 level. Furthermore, the potential negative social impact of moving 11-year-old children to high school was discussed. Given these factors, it was decided not to pursue this suggestion.

Policy Name: Policy on the Enrolment Criteria for Registration
Policy Number: B605-20170131 Replacing Policy Number: B605-20170131, B556-20151215
Date Received at Council: May 23, 2017
Consultation Period: May 25, 2017 to November 10, 2017
Date Approved by Council:
Date of Next Review: As required
Riverside School Board will register students eligible for English language education according to the criteria outlined in this policy, in keeping with the parents’ right to choose a school for their child and in accordance with the Education Act (see Appendix I).
Purpose The purpose of this policy is to establish the enrolment criteria that will be used to register students, including international students, in Riverside School Board schools. The criteria are further specified in the document produced annually by Riverside School Board entitled ‘Planning for our Schools’ which determines each school’s program(s), attendance zone, and transportation zone. This policy aims to confirm student placement and inform parents in a reasonable time frame while effectively organizing the services of the school board.
DEFINITIONS
Space
The number of students, including international students, which a school can accommodate for a given year in view of its capacity at each level. Riverside School Board maintains the right to reserve up to 3 student places at any grade level in a school during the Late Enrolment Period until up to ten days before the beginning of school. This is done in order to make it possible to accept In-zone students who apply in the summer during late enrolment.
Capacity:
The number of students that can be reasonably accommodated in a school building taking into account: the educational services provided by the school; the number of usable teaching stations; the student/teacher ratio as determined by the Teachers’ Collective Agreement.
The physical component affecting school capacity is the number of teaching stations in the school. The key to determining whether a space is counted as a teaching station lies in the layout and daily use of that space.
At the Elementary level, only classrooms are counted as teaching stations as each student is assigned a desk with his/her personal belongings for the duration of the year. The school may have
other spaces such as a computer room or a gymnasium in which students are taught. However, it is assumed that when an elementary class moves from its assigned space/core classroom to the computer room or gymnasium, no other group moves into that classroom. After that class is completed, the students return to their classroom and another class moves into the computer room.
At the High School level, students move from classroom to classroom throughout the day and do not have an assigned desk as their belongings are stored in a locker. Therefore, a standard classroom, gymnasium or laboratory with an assigned teacher is considered a teaching station for purposes of determining capacity.
It is virtually impossible to program the use of a high school so that all of the space is used for 100% of the periods throughout the school day. The number of teaching stations is multiplied by a utilization factor of 85% to take into account scheduling conflicts for the high schools.
The maximum number of students in each class is determined by using the Teachers’ Collective Agreement. The maximum student/teacher ratios are averaged as follows:
24 students for elementary regular classes; 10 students for elementary self-contained classes (programs such as REACH, SEEDS, NEST, etc.); 29 students in high school classes.
The school capacity is then adjusted by a factor of 90% in order to alert schools and parents that their building is approaching the point of not being able to enroll more students due to a lack of space at one or more grade levels.
Siblings: Children who have legal status as siblings; i.e. children who have at least one parent in common; children who have been legally adopted and have at least one parent in common; or children who are under the legal guardianship of a common parent. The student would be attending the school in the same year that the sibling is also attending.
Walkers: For the purposes of the application of this Policy, a walker at the elementary level is someone who lives within 1.6 km of the school.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Registrations will be accepted based on the total number of applications at each school and the school capacity. Acceptance of student registrations is for one year at a time. Efforts will be made to minimize student transfer.
Students who apply to a school and live within the attendance zone of that school but cannot be enrolled at that school because of lack of space (see definition) would be transferred to a school where space is available. Transportation will be provided only for the year that they are transferred to that school. If space becomes available in the In-zone school the student will return to that school unless they request and obtain Out-of-zone status without transportation services. In that case, the student will be granted a Special Out-of-zone status (B1). When returning students to their in-zone school, efforts will be made to return them to a similar program (e.g.: a student in French Immersion program would be returned to a French Immersion program).
On a case-by-case basis, Riverside School Board can assign a student, including an international student, to a specific school for educational, psychological, social, or other exceptional reasons.

T1 Volunteers - Students who volunteer to be transferred. Transportation is provided;
T1T2 Students without siblings, living in a multiple zone - In-zone students without siblings attending the school living within the in-zone area of another school where space is available. Those who are geographically closest to the school that has availability will be transferred first. Transportation is provided;
T2 T3 Returning Transferred Students - Transferred in-zone students who were assigned to another school the previous year and express the desire to stay there for the present year. Transportation is provided;
T3 T4 Students without siblings who are non-walkers - Students without a sibling in the school who are eligible for transportation. In this group the students who are geographically closest to the school that has availability will be transferred first. Transportation is provided;
T4 T5 Students who are non-walkers - Students with a sibling in the school who are eligible for transportation. In this group the students who are geographically closest to the school that has availability will be transferred first. The student’s sibling(s) may also be transferred (at parent’s request). Transportation is provided.
B: OUT-OF-ZONE STUDENTS
Subject to the availability of space (see definition), students residing outside of the established school attendance zone but within Riverside School Board territory may attend a specific school of choice on condition that the parent/guardian agrees to provide transportation for:

B3 B1 Current Out-of-Zone students - Students who are currently attending a school and reside outside the attendance zone for that school and confirm, by May 31, their request to remain at the school. If space is not sufficient to accommodate this group at their grade level, students with a sibling attending the school will have priority.
DURING THE ENROLMENT PERIOD IN MAY AND JUNE
An assessment will be made of all In-Zone registrations that are received between May 1 and June 30 and all Out-of Zone registrations received before June 30. Parents will be informed by the school of student placement during the first week of July. In exceptional circumstances, confirmation of Out- of-zone requests may be delayed due to three spaces being reserved.
Subject to the availability of space (see definition), enrolment of students will be accepted in the following order of priority:
C1 Siblings of Current In-Zone Students - Students who reside within the attendance zone of the school, who have a sibling attending the school;
C2 New In-Zone Students - Students who reside within the attendance zone of the school;

All applications for enrolment of Riverside students received after June 30 will be considered on an ongoing basis.
Registrations of Interboard students will be considered 10 days before the beginning of the school year.
