An MPAR process could be selected for a particular review area if Board thinks the potential accommodation options are less complex. An MPAR may be approved and initiated by the Board where two (2) or more of the following factors are present:
- Distance to the nearest available accommodation is 5 kilometers or less;
- Utilization rate of the facility is equal or below 50%;
- Number of students enrolled at the school is 126 or fewer;
- When the Board is planning the relocation of a program (in any school year or over a number of school years), in which the enrolment constitutes more than or equal to fifty percent (50%) of the school’s enrolment (this calculation is based on the enrolment at the time of the relocation, or the first phase of a relocation carried over a number of schools years);
- There are no more than three (3) schools subject to the Pupil Accommodation Review process; or,
- The entire student population (and boundary) of a school that is subject to a Pupil Accommodation Review process can be accommodated in another school.
