We also want to let you know that large capital projects (like new schools) are funded by the Ministry of Education and Child Care and not via the school district annual budget. Let's make sure capital projects in growing districts are an issue in the 2024 BC Provincial election

[COPAC @COPACSD23]

Parents, this is a great opportunity to share your thoughts on the SD23 budget. Your experience can help inform the School Board on their budget decisions for the 24/25 school year.
