School
Closures and the 2010 Olympics
|
|
|
The VSB
will make a final decision on whether schools should close or remain open
during the 2010 Olympics on Monday, February 16.
70 teachers at Kits have signed a letter to VSB trustees asking that the
school calendar for 2009-2010 be adjusted to allow high schools to have a two
week spring break in February 2010 to coincide with the Olympics.
Parents can convey their opinions to our trustee liaison, Patti Bacchus,
Chair, at patti.bacchus@vsb.bc.ca.
