Accommodation
Plan
YRDSB’s FI Accommodation Plan provides long-term consistency
and equity of access to all students in York Region and will enable YRDSB
to continue to offer the FI program to all who wish to
enroll. The FI program will be offered in Dual Track or Single
Track settings, in a variety of configurations. To meet community needs
and optimize available space in our schools, a community's Grade 1-8 FI program
may be provided over more than one school during the course of a student's FI
education. This will allow flexibility in addressing community needs and
the opportunity to use existing space in schools.
Please
note: Some of the FI accommodation plans will require facility modifications or
the development of new schools and will require short-term transition plans
that might include overflow while we work toward the long-term
vision. Overflow refers to situations in which the Board directs students
to attend a school other than their community school or optional program for a
specific period of time, as defined in Policy #108.
