EIPS administration began this work by sharing information and gathering feedback through September school council meetings.

During September School Council meetings, EIPS shared information and gathered feedback from parents to help guide the Rural Strathcona County boundary review process. No changes to the criteria were suggested; however, parents asked that EIPS administration not lose sight of student safety in crossing range roads and township roads to catch school buses.

Thank you to all the parents who participated in these meetings and shared their input. We recognize the start of the school year is a busy time and the September School Council meeting agendas can be quite full. EIPS appreciates this opportunity to share information about the review, gather feedback from parents, and answer questions about the process.

Throughout October, EIPS will be using the information gathered through the September meetings and reviewing our division information and data to begin redrawing boundary lines, reviewing transportation implications, and developing options for further public feedback.
