After a flurry of discussion, New Westminster school trustees voted four to three to approve a motion to send a letter to the Ministry of Education urging the minister to hold byelections in Vancouver and North Okanagan-Shuswap.

Planning is currently underway for the 2018/19 annual budget, and trustees want to hear from the community about what it wants to see prioritized in the coming year.

The 2018/19 budget survey is available online until the end of the month and it is open to anyone in the community to fill out (because it’s not only parents’ taxes that fund school districts).

Folks will be able to use the survey to share with the district what specific programs, areas or activities they’d like to see additional resources be made available.

Anyone completing the survey is asked to read Teaching and Learning in Diverse Classrooms: A District Blueprint for Learner Success, which helps informs the district’s decisions in the budget process. (The report is available here: http://bit.ly/2FvCZ0V.)
