Have you wondered why it takes so long for schools to be built? 8 months to see if you're approved, generally not approved the 1st year. On average, 5 years to build once funded. #notanaprilfoolsjoke #bced #SurreyBC #bcpoli #inclusion

Where does $$$ come from for learning spaces? School districts are required to contribute to capital projects by the BC government. Since 2017, the Surrey School District has contributed $107 million to capital projects. #notanaprilfoolsjoke #bced #SurreyBC #bcpoli #inclusion

The cost of portables (purchase, install and site moves) have been funded by the school district. In the 2023/24 school year, Surrey Schools has spent $5.7 million dollars on moving portables in our district.

Wouldn't it be great if teachers & staff could take sick days & know there will be a sub to cover their class? Each day, about 100 classes have no sub - students can lose learning supports, library access & music classes.

A few months ago I wanted to know exactly how many portables there were in every community in the province.
The province said "too bad, you'll have to contact every single school district in British Columbia."
Fortunately, I'm a very stubborn person.
