All students wishing to attend schools outside the jurisdiction and have the Board pay tuition or other costs must have Board approval prior to attending. Requests should be made to the Director who will investigate the circumstances of each request and made recommendations to the Board of Education. In any case in which the request for placement differs from the placement that the Board would ordinarily make, the Board reserves the right to limit or refuse financial assistance for the student placement. 

1. Where appropriate programs are available within the Creighton School Division, students resident in the Creighton School Division will be expected to be enrolled in the Creighton School Division.

2. Where programs that are, in the opinion of the Board, particularly appropriate to the needs of students are not presently provided within the Creighton School Division, the Board may provide for enrolment and financial support for such students in other school jurisdictions where such programs are available.

1. The Board reserves the right to consider each student placement on its individual merits.

2. The special needs of students will be a consideration in making placements. The Board recognizes the unique educational needs of students of native ancestry.

3. In some cases the Board may support placement in other approved school divisions.
