To the Honourable the
Legislative Assembly of the Province of British Columbia, in
Legislature Assembled:
The petition of
the undersigned, parents of the students in School District 69,
states that:
Whereas, schools
are the heart of our community;
Whereas, the
closure of schools will lead towards the decline of our community;
and
Whereas, the
closure of schools will inevitably lead to increased travel time for
our children.
Therefore, we
the undersigned, oppose the closure of any schools in School District
69.
Your petitioners
respectfully request that the Honourable House take such action as
may be necessary to prevent any school closures.
Fingers crossed to the school staying open! Having such an amazing "small" school in the community was a highlight for moving here. Keeping kids out of "town" and out of a larger school matters to their learning and safety. There are too many positive reasons for NOT closing the smaller schools...
