Written by Superior-Greenstone District School Board on 25 October 2011

The pupil accommodation review process is outlined in Policy 905 which may be found on the board website by CLICKING HERE.

Policy 905 states that the accommodation review committee (ARC) is appointed by the board to act in an advisory role and will provide recommendations that will inform the final decision made by the Board of Trustees. This Committee consists of the following members:

a) One parent representative from the school council from each school (one from Manitouwadge High School and one from Manitouwadge Public School).

b) One citizen from each school attendance area considered in the Pupil Accommodation Review appointed by each school community at meetings called by the Principal of each school for that purpose. (This may be the community representative on school council ).

c) One business representative from each municipality having a connection with the Accommodation Review Area.

d) One municipal leader from each municipality having a connection with the Accommodation Review Area.

Representation on the Accommodation Review Committee (ARC) is to provide equitable support for each school community.

Once the ARC is formed a notice will go out giving a minimum 30 days’ notice for the first public meeting. Regular updates about this process will be found on the board website.
