Public Input on School Facilities

The following is a message from the Vancouver School Board (VSB):

Public Input on School Facilities

The VSB has more than a hundred schools across the city to manage and maintain. Just as the City of Vancouver develops local area plans to guide long-term land use planning, the Vancouver School Board must create a long range facilities plan (LRFP) to outline specific goals and targets for the management of its properties.

The LRFP is a framework to help achieve an important goal – getting students and staff into safe, seismically upgraded schools as quickly as possible. It will also ensure we have schools where they’re needed to meet future enrolment demands.

This 14-year plan offers a starting point for setting priorities. It will be reviewed every year to reflect changes in the city of Vancouver and changes in district priorities. It is not an implementation plan.

Decisions about specific schools will only be made only after more study, specific community consultation and direction from our elected trustees. Find out more about this work here.
