Top priority but if you reference Minister's comments - we can expect a no in the Spring 2020 Capital Response Letter.
Yes - there we are as a Year 1 request. The Ministry of Education did not approve in the Spring 2019 Capital Response Letter.
Here is Olympic Village School as a top request in 2015 which happens to be the year that kids starting Kindergarten next year (September 2020) were born. If only the school were approved.
Is this a surprise that Simon Fraser Elementary is bursting at the seams and unable to accommodate in-catchment students? It would appear not - here in 2015, the utilization was 140%. That means that the school had an extra 40 kids for every 100 that were meant to be learning there. This not only disperses the community but is also detrimental to the students, staff & administrators at the school.
