This support would be applicable to children resident within the School Division who qualify for level two intensive supports in accordance with the criteria of the Special Education branch of Saskatchewan Learning. Such support will be limited to the two school years prior to the school year in which the child would be eligible, by virtue of chronological age, to enter the Kindergarten program. 

Board support will be limited to appropriate programming available within the Creighton School Division or within a reasonable distance.

On a case-by-case basis, the Board of Education reserves the right to support, wholly or partially, appropriate early childhood students ages 3 to 4 years. A Board decision to do so will only occur after the development of an appropriate educational plan for each child which, in the opinion of the Board, includes sufficient commitment of support from the parents/guardians and other community agencies.
