The Education (Learning Enhancement) Statutes Amendment Act (Bill 33), which amends the School Act and Independent School Act, came into force on July 1, 2006. The Act sets class size limits for grades 4-12 in public schools and requires principals to consult with school planning councils about class organization.
British Columbia is observing a Day of Mourning today in response to the heartbreaking events in Tumbler Ridge earlier this week and we invite our community to honour the lives lost and stand alongside everyone affected.
Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the victims, the students and staff at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, the first responders, and the broader Tumbler Ridge community.
Resources, guidance for supporting conversations with children, a donation link, and a public condolence book can be found at gov.bc.ca/TumblerRidge.
