With a wrap on the public consultation meetings into the 'Initial Options' report -- the Board of Education for SD #27 (Cariboo-Chilcotin) will receive a synopsis of the public submissions received to date on Dec 11th, 2012 with the intention to make final decision on January 22nd, 2013 in Williams Lake and according to Zone 4 Trustee Jackie Austin, a separate Board meeting is hoped for in 100 Mile House to make decisions around 'Initial Options' and possible school closures in the 100 Mile area
My own view is that the Board will vote to close the 5 schools identified in the 'Initial Options' report with Glendale, Kwaleen and Wildwood Elementary in Williams Lake being determined for closure & Buffalo Creek and 100 Mile Jr Secondary being determined for closure in 100 Mile House
