Okanagan Skaha delays school decision ’til March

A decision on  school closures for the Penticton-Summerland area will NOT come this week as expected.

School trustees (Okanagan Skaha SD 67) were to announce a decision Wednesday but will now wait – all caused by “lack of proper process”.

“In order to provide further opportunities for feedback and input on all options, the board will be continuing with the consultation process, and to allow for this has decided to postpone its decision-making meeting originally scheduled for January 20 to March 9 at 7 p.m.,” stated a press release issued by the school board on Monday.

“The board appreciates all of the input and feedback received in the consultation process to date. This feedback has also resulted in additional options being put forward for public consultation,” the press release stated.
