School closures process on hold

Trustees voted Tuesday to extend the consultation process for closure of Armstrong and Silver Creek schools

North Okanagan-Shuswap trustees have backed off any immediate decisions on school closures.

The board voted Tuesday to extend the consultation process for closure of Armstrong Elementary and Silver Creek Elementary until April 2017.

That means no decisions will be made this year.

Trustees also voted to implement task forces for Armstrong and Salmon Arm.  These committees will review, among other things, demographic information, school configurations and catchment areas in the Armstrong and Salmon Arm schools.

Look for more details as they become available.
