Chilliwack Board of Education approves 8 recommendations aimed at balancing enrolment, capacity
CHILLIWACK – After two-plus months of consultation with parents and families, the Chilliwack Board of Education on Tuesday night approved eight recommendations aimed at balancing enrolment and capacity that will take effect next year.
According to a statement from SD33, the district’s north side Early and Late French Immersion programs will move from Chilliwack Middle School to Rosedale Traditional Community School (RTCS) for the 2027-28 school year. RTCS will transition from a K-8 school to a middle school that year.
Rosedale catchment K-5 students are set to attend the new east side elementary school when it opens in September 2027.
The seven-member board approved changes to the Cheam Elementary catchment. The catchment will be split between Little Mountain Elementary, Strathcona Elementary and the new east side elementary school. The use of the Cheam Elementary facility will be explored in the coming year, and a decision will be made prior to the 2027-28 school year.
