Parents that choose to register their child in a school other than their designated school are required to pay a system-wide cross-boundary transportation fee.
Cross-Boundary_Attendance/Transportation Form
Transportation will be provided for students who choose to attend a school other than their designated school, provided:
- There is space available on the bus
- The bus does not have to be diverted from the regular approved route
- The receiving school has the space available to accommodate the child
- That applicable cross-boundary fees are paid
Note: If an urban student is attending a non-designated school, the cross-boundary fee will apply. The student will NOT be required to purchase an urban bus pass in addition to paying the cross-boundary fee.
Exceptions
The following transported students will not be required to pay for cross-boundary transportation fees:
- Students with special needs directed to a specialized program outside their designated school
- Students enrolled in specialized programming for which provincial transportation funding is provided
- Students attending a non-designated school, who were residing within an optional transportation area that was removed by the Board during the 2004/05 school year (this applies only to those students currently enrolled in Parkland, not their siblings who will be entering the system)
- Students in grades 10 to 12 for whom the distance is closer to a non-Parkland high school, e.g. Drayton Valley
Note: Students enrolled in specialized programming such as Maranatha, at a school other than their designated school, will be required to pay the cross-boundary fees.
