School Boundary Changes Approved for 2026-2027 School Year

At its January 27th Board Meeting, the Board of Education approved two elementary school catchment adjustments and deferred consideration of a proposed secondary school change.

The approved elementary adjustments respond to current enrollment pressures at Springwood Elementary and will take effect beginning in the 2026–2027 school year.  The proposed secondary adjustment decision was deferred to a future year to allow for additional reflection, and possible consideration by the next Board of Education.

A letter to parents/caregivers at Springwood, Nanoose Bay, École  Oceanside and École Ballenas can be found HERE

A link to the Virtual Town Hall can be found HERE as well as a copy of the slide deck presented.

Link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/88484127588?pwd=SjsAaCbRDhWetw838cLjxQHsLiSlBQ.1

This parent-friendly session supports families in better understanding inclusive classrooms, why complexity is part of the reality, and how families can support inclusion in meaningful and realistic ways.

The session will explore:
• What inclusive classrooms are designed to support, and why complexity is expected
• How inclusive classrooms can impact students with IEPs, peers, educators, and families
• Practical ways families can support inclusion through home conversations and respectful school partnerships

The workshop will be facilitated by Carly Eirikson, who works in inclusive education and school leadership and has extensive experience supporting students, families, and school teams.
