Limestone welcomes all students, promoting and encouraging families to attend their area school, but we understand that it is best interest of some students to attend an out-of-boundary school and that selecting the right educational setting for your new student is a significant decision.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Selecting an out-of-boundary school for your new student is a decision influenced by many factors. The school may be closer to a workplace or near a childcare provider that might be more convenient for drop-off and pick-up routines. In accordance with board policy, by default, students will be enrolled in the school designated within their boundary area, based on their home address.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We aim to accommodate family preferences, but please note that out-of-boundary placements are not guaranteed, and families will be responsible for organizing transportation to and from out-of-boundary schools.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Students may be permitted to attend any school within the board when there is available student space, upon submission and approval of the proper application. The board will not be held responsible for the provision of any transportation for students outside of their regular school boundary area. This applies to both students within Limestone’s geographic boundaries (out-of-boundary), and students who live outside of those boundaries (out-of-district). </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We are committed to supporting you every step of the way.

<p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">All school boards in Ontario, including ours, will now evaluate their Directors of Education every year, as of March 2024. This new annual assessment will be based on both mandatory criteria and any specific priorities set by our school board, as required by Ontario Regulation 83/24.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Previously, Limestone District School Board (LDSB) conducted these appraisals every two years.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Chief Executive Officer (CEO)/Director of Education plays a crucial role in promoting student achievement and well-being, as well as the overall success of our schools.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The CEO/ Director leads the development and implementation of the Board’s multi-year strategic plan.
