Board Policy Development & Review policy and steps taken when policies are developed, reviewed, and implemented.


On November 19, 2024, the Board of Education of Mission Public Schools approved three (3) policies in principle.

We are now seeking feedback from the educational professionals, parents, guardians, and students interested in or affected by the policies.


Please READ & REVIEW the below policies.


Once done reading, please provide your feedback in a QUICK survey below. The Survey will be open until the end of December 2024. The feedback will be reviewed at the January COTW Meeting, the policies will be amended as/if necessary, and forwarded to the January Board Meeting for final approval.



On November 5, the Committee of the Whole provided direction to refer the Catchment Areas, Cross Boundary Applications and Programs of Choice Policy back to staff to amend the policy more in line with option 2A regarding busing.

2. Amend the policy further and refer for final approval.

a. An alternate amendment considering the busing concerns for middle school students attending a middle school that does not align with their home school catchment, would be to clarify that bussing would not be provided to students from the schools of choice or a cross boundary school that attend a middle school that does not align with their home school catchment.

i. For example, bussing to Heritage Park would not be provided to students that would receive bussing to Hatzic Middle school based on their home address.

This would eliminate the impact of the schools of choice on busing.
