SD33 tackling school enrollment and capacity at upcoming board meeting
CHILLIWACK — The Chilliwack School Board is locking in on plans to address its growing student population over the next decade at an upcoming board meeting.
With Chilliwack becoming the second-fastest-growing municipality in Canada between 2016 and 2021, the city began to see “uneven pressure” across its schools – but recent projections from the province show that enrollment is expected to stabilize across B.C., according to the School District.
On May 12, SD33 is scheduled to host a meeting focused solely on the enrollment and facilities review, following a public consultation period during which students, staff, and community members shared their thoughts on the issue.
