Public Meetings Cancelled: New Dates Not Set

An Urgent Message from the University Hill Secondary and Elementary PAC Executives, the University Neighbourhoods Association Schools Action Committee,

Dear Fellow Parents, Guardians and UBC/UEL Residents,

A meeting to announce the revised plans on June 4th was cancelled. The school board says their revised plans will be announced on June 11th, 7:00 pm at the VSB Offices (Broadway & Fir).

The Vancouver School Board (“VSB”) has heard from many parents about the shockingly inadequate school facilities in the UBC area. We thank you for your support to date.

But, please, we need to keep up the pressure. We ask that you e-mail the VSB school trustees and key representatives from the provincial government and let them know that action is needed NOW to resolve the growing crisis. Let them know that students, parents, guardians, and area residents have waited too many years for school facilities equal to others across the district. Public schools are paid for through our taxes and our children have the same rights to publicly funded schools as other Vancouver children do.

A critical decision on school facilities will be made June 19, and the decision-makers need to hear from as many of us as possible before that date. They need to be reminded that hundreds of families in the UBC/UEL area are affected and concerned, and that we insist on fair treatment.

Step One: Please send a short and urgent message, asking for action now on the UBC school crisis, to some or all of the following:

• VSB Trustees: See clickable email address in the side bar to the right.
• Our MLA, and our Minister of Education: See clickable email address in the side bar to the right.

Step Two: Please come Vancouver School Board meetings on June 11th. Let the trustees know that we need rebuilt schools and we need them now! A meeting for June 4th to announce the new plans was cancelled. Now the School Board says they will announce the news on June 11th at 7:00 pm
