Board members in Sea to Sky School District No. 48 resolved the Squamish area school reconfiguration issue at a board meeting with teacher association representatives in attendance Wednesday (Feb. 10).
After some discussion between the five of the seven board members present including Andrea Beaubien, Laura Godfrey, Rick Price, Chris Vernon-Jarvis and Dave Walden, the board resolved to incrementally proceed with the reconfiguration starting with Grade 8 students in September 2010.
The board resolved to move all Squamish area Grade 8 students to Don Ross Secondary School in the 2010-2011 school year.
Members also resolved to maintain a Grade 9 program in both Don Ross Secondary School and Howe Sound Secondary School during the 2010-2011 school year and for a Grade 10 program to continue at Don Ross Secondary School until June 2011. As of September 2011 there will no longer be a Grade 10 program at Don Ross Secondary School.
