Enrolment Numbers Down - Plant closure having an impact


The Vernon School District's final numbers are in - and they're down a total of 124 students from their projections. Superintendent, Bev Rundell says the majority are in elementary school.  In total, the district is down 124 students, but 77 are elementary pupils. She says that is of concern to the district, when they see reductions like that in elementary school, because they feed the system for the next 12 years. Rundell says one impact seems to be the closing of the glassplant,  with 30 fewer students at Lavington Elementary.  She says staffing shouldn't be impacted due to funding protection.
