SD68 to examine north Nanaimo capacity crunch
NANAIMO — Added pressure caused by ever-rising enrolment at several Nanaimo will be under close examination over the next several months.
Nanaimo Ladysmith Public Schools trustees unanimously agreed to have staff initiate a public consultation process, which could impact facilities in the north end of the district.
“The board is really wanting to engage in the community and ensure that there’s community voice in our decision making around this. I’m very supportive of the process that’s been laid out,” board chair Charlene McKay said during last week’s board meeting.
There are no recommendations on how to broach capacity challenges impacting schools in the north end of District 68, several of which are operating above capacity.
