Alberta classrooms are a microcosm of the world, with students representing a diversity of language and cultural groups. Some students are Canadian born or have adopted Canadian citizenship, while others are permanent residents, children of temporary foreign workers, refugees or students who have come to Canada specifically to study. Given this diversity, it can be difficult for Alberta schools and school boards to know: (1) when they are obliged to admit a student; (2) when a student will be funded by Alberta Education; and (3) how to correctly code a student. This document attempts to answer the most frequently asked questions educational professionals have regarding access, funding and coding of international students in grades 1 to 12 in Alberta. Three appendices are included: (1) Alberta Education's Guidelines to Section 8 of the School Act: Definition of Temporary Resident (Revised-May 2, 2005); (2) A copy of the letter sent by Keray Henke to the School Board Superintendents and Charter School Superintendents with the subject title of "Stepchildren of Temporary Foreign Workers"; and (3) Application for Alberta Education: Approval of Reciprocal Student Exchange.
