We still get lots of schools of Choice has stabilized at about 5,400 Stu dents crossing division lines across Manitoba Many of those having made the Choice several years ago. Within divisions about 9,800 Stu dents attend schools outside their own neighbourhoods. When the former conservative government established schools of Choice in the late 1990s, allowing students to attend schools in other Divi Sions without paying a fee there were fears that some popular schools would be packed and some schools left virtually empty. But schools of Choice also gives first crack at a program to division Resi dents before Stu Sions. The division ran free school buses throughout South Winnipeg Elie head Ingley St. Norbert and other communities. Now that it has merged into red River Valley school Divi Sion the new division does not aggressively recruit said red River Valley school Board chairman Sieg Neu Mann. However red River Valley still has a net gain of 84 Stu dents he said thanks to the popularity of schools in san Ford and Oak Bluff and the divisions hockey Academy at Starbuck school.

St. James Assiniboia does not target individual students for recruitment but does use newspaper ads and inserts and commercials at Silver City Cinema Weston said.
