Boundary Reviews

School boundary reviews are conducted by the Board to review the attendance area for a school or a group of schools due to changes in student enrolment, program demands, new school construction or other factors.

The Brant Haldimand Norfolk Catholic District School Board is committed to a transparent process for decision-making with regard to boundary reviews, as described in the School Boundary Review Administrative Procedure. The Board will ensure that communities affected by boundary changes have a clear understanding of the process and the level of consultation that will take place.

A School Attendance Boundary Review is led by an Attendance Boundary Review Committee (ABRC). The ABRC will work collaboratively and provide feedback and recommendations that will inform the final decision made by the Board of Trustees on boundary changes within the reviewed area.

The commencement of a School Boundary Review process is initiated and approved by the Board of Trustees.
