Posted on 2025-04-25 21:59:21.901 +0000 UTC
Effective September 1, 2025, Alberta Education has amended the School Transportation Regulation. The updated distance eligibility criteria are:
- 1.6 kilometres for Kindergarten to Grade 6 students
- 2.0 kilometres for Grades 7 to 12 students
For the 2025-26 school year only, Alberta Education is providing one-year transition funding to ease the transition for parents in school divisions where the 1 kilometre eligibility distance was optionally implemented in September 2023.
