A new long range facilities plan adopted by the Burnaby school board is “raising the urgency” about the need for new schools to accommodate immigration-driven enrolment growth.
The Burnaby school board has adopted an “aggressive” new long range facilities plan to cope with an influx of students that is projected to continue over the coming years.
School board chair Bill Brassington noted the plan came after consultation with students, staff, parents, teachers and members of the general public. Current school district calculations project similar enrolment growth next year and the year after, Horswill said. “In 2018, when the last plan was done, the district could see that we were having growth coming our way, but now this plan is addressing the growth that we’re actually experiencing.”
Plan highlights: The new plan also includes recommendations to pursue the replacement and expansion of a number of existing schools across the district.
