Cam Johnson Asks:
What are your thoughts on the overcrowding of many of the cities school’s? And what can be done to help that problem?
As you may know, school districts do not set local property tax rates and receive their operating and capital money mostly from Victoria. Unlike some compact urban districts, Kamloops faces unique challenges because of our rural/urban blend. Taken as a district, we appear to have plenty of space but when viewed within regions, we have clear space demands. Our school board will have to work with all locally elected representatives to advocate for needed capital investment.
