Schools of Choice
The Schools of Choice initiative facilitates parental/student choice, within limits, in selecting the public school best suited to the student’s learning requirements.
These requests for transfers are considered based on which state that schools enrol students in the following order of priority:
- Students designated to attend that school
- Students residing in the Ïã¸ÛÂí¾ÂÛ̳
- Other Manitoba students
Acceptance is also based on school population, available space and resources following our divisional , excerpts of which appear below:
