How is the Boundary Review committee selected?
A Boundary Review Committee will be established with composed of
  • A non-affected Superintendent and a non-affected Trustee will jointly chair the Boundary Review Committee
  • All members of the Steering Committee (for more information see School Boundary Administrative Procedure​​)
  • P​arent representatives from all affected communities
Principals of affected schools are not on the Committee, but may be called upon to verify information as required.​
What is the Steering Committee?
Once the Board has approved the initiation of a school boundary review, the Superintendent of the affected Family of Schools will establish the Boundary Review Steering Committee and lead the school boundary review process. This committee will consist of: Family of Schools Superintendent(s) of all affected areas Superintendent from a non-affected area General Manager of Planning Services Trustee(s) for all of the affected areas, including Trustee who will co-chair the Boundary Review Committee As necessary, the committee may also include the following supplementary members. Superintendent of Program Superintendent of Business Services Superintendent of Student Services
How does Transportation work for students?
Transportation qualifications remain the same and are based on the grades students attend. Students in Grades JK to 8 qualify for bussing if they are more than 1.6 km from their school while those in Grades 9-12 qualify for bussing if they are more than 3.2 km from the school.
How is the final decision made?
The Halton District School Board follows the School Boundary Review Administrative Procedure for its boundary review studies. The final decision for a boundary review study is made by the Board of Trustees by a vote. There are a number of steps that a boundary review study follows. In general for this study: The Boundary Review Committee (BRC) reviews options and recommends a preferred option(s) and any other input to be considered and sends to the Boundary Review Steering Committee (BRSC). The BRSC considers the recommendations and other input from the BRC and can make possible revisions. The Superintendent that is responsible for the boundary review study and is a member of the BRSC writes a board report and presents the report to the Administration Council and the Director of Education. The Director of Education can make further revisions to the recommendations in the board report and then shares with the Board of Trustees for a decision. The Board of Trustees votes on the recommendations made in the board report.
Will grade 10 or 11 students be expected to change schools if boundaries change?
Milton SW #1 hs will only offer grade 9 programming in 2021/2022. Current students at Milton District HS, who will be in grades 10 to 12 in 2021/2022, will remain at their current high school. There may be an opportunity to offer grade 11 programming at Milton SW #1 HS starting September 2022. This option will be examined at a later date by the school board. Transportation will be provided according to policy.
If we are moving into a new area will schools change?
Students new to the area will be required to attend the revised high school boundaries.
When will I-STEM be offered at the new high school?
I-STEM will be offered starting in September 2022.
I have a child in an older grade. Will they get to attend the new high school?
There may be an opportunity to offer grade 11 and 12 programming at Milton SW #1 hs starting September 2022. This option will be examined at a later date by the school board.
