SD #27 Update on "Initials Options" Report Process

Courtesy of School District #27 (Cariboo-Chilcotin):

The Board of Education of School District No. 27 (Cariboo-Chilcotin) is nearing the end of its official public consultation process regarding possible school reconfiguration and closures.

At the Public Board Meeting on Tuesday, December 11, the Board will receive a summary of what has been learned through the consultation process. A number of other options and ideas have been brought forward by School District No. 27 staff and members of the public during the many consultation meetings that have happened over the past two months, and all options and ideas will be considered by the Board before making any final decisions.

The Board has not yet met regarding any of the information that has been presented to them since the release of the Initial Options Report on September 25. Once the full consultation period is over and they have received the summary at the meeting on December 11, the Board will begin to discuss what they have heard from the public consultation meetings as well as from the other ways the public has been consulted (i.e. Thoughtstream, e-mail feedback, written feedback).

Board meetings, open to the public, have been scheduled for: December 11, December 18, January 8 (in 100 Mile House), January 15, January 22 (expected Initial Options Report decision date), and January 29 (regular board business agenda).
