Engaging the Community / Possible School Closures
At the April 2009 Public Meeting, the Sunshine Coast Board of Education made a decision to examine the problem of declining enrolment in elementary schools located in the Sechelt area, emphasizing community consultation. The information from these meetings are now published on this page of our website. Please go here to find out more about the initial meetings and to learn about the next steps leading to a decision regarding possible school closures.

At the Regular Meeting of the Board on Tuesday, January 12, 2010 at 7:00 PM at the School Board Office in Gibsons, the Sechelt Elementary School closure bylaw had its first reading and was passed. The Davis Bay Elementary School closure bylaw and the Kinnikinnick Elementary School closure bylaw received notice of motion.

On Tuesday, January 26, 2010 there is a Special Public Board meeting at 7:00 PM in the Chatelech Secondary School Library. The purpose of this meeting is to vote on the first reading of the school closure bylaws for Davis Bay and Kinnikinnick Elementary Schools.

The next public meeting will be at Chatelech Secondary School in the Theatre on Tuesday, February 2, 2010 at 7:00 PM. This will be a public consultation to receive feedback on the first readings of the three school closure bylaws.

The Regular Board Meeting will occur on Tuesday, February 9, 2010 at the School Board Office on South Fletcher Road in Gibsons. There will be no debate on any of the school closure bylaws. The agenda will focus on the 2009-2010 budget.

The early years of a child's life are critical for setting the stage for success in later life. Parents of children under five can attend a new SPARK! class every Fall, Winter and Spring until their child enters Kindergarten. Classes are FREE and focus on the latest research and ways that parents can support their child's learning at home.

Classes are held in a variety of locations and at a variety of times. Early registration is essential to allow time for materials to arrive.
