Managing Space For Students
SSAP Redesignations for Schools in South-Central Calgary
On Feb 11, 2025, the Board of Trustees approved the relocation of CBE Home Education from Windsor Park School to Bel-Aire School. This move enables the
redesignation plan for south-central CBE schools to proceed as presented to families in October 2024.
This plan was implemented in the 2025-26 school year.

Why We're Making Changes
The redesignation plan balances enrolment at schools in south-central Calgary, benefitting staff, students, families and schools. Specifically, this plan:
- Supports student success
- Opens much-needed space in the area
- Contributes to our goal of removing the cap and overflows from Elboya and Rideau Park schools
- Increases enrolment at under-utilized schools
Moving CBE Home Education
CBE Home Education used to operate out of Windsor Park School. CBE Administration recommended to the Board of Trustees that CBE Home Education be relocated to Bel-Aire School to re-open Windsor Park School for community students. This change reduces the need to overflow students at Elboya and Rideau Park schools and creates space to relieve pressure on other neighbouring schools. The recommendation was submitted to the Board of Trustees in December 2024 and the final decision was made by the Board of Trustees in February 2025, in alignment with
GC-3E (2): Closure of Schools Procedure.
The Board of Trustees’
process and decision are separate and apart from this redesignation plan; however, the Board decision will impact what some of the redesignations look like.
