Happy belated World Teacher's Day! Thank you to all teachers who work tirelessly to support and guide our children. I believe that education is the gateway to healthy and thriving communities.

‘Improving student achievement is the key work of locally-elected boards of education. The interests of B.C. students are best met through local decision-making with an engaged community.’

On September 15th I attended (virtually), the board of education meeting. Superintendent Manuel presented and the board approved the Enhancing Student Learning report for 2021-2022. The report is a key communication piece with the community on student achievement and the work the district is doing to ensure that students meet their highest potential.

Take a look at the report:
