Video highlights (and lowlights) of Wednesday’s school closure meeting
Okanagan Falls Trustee Sam Hancheroff blamed provincial funding, but he argued that the school closure issue came up in 2010 and not enough was done by the community since to address the original problems, which have worsened. He voted against the motion to delay the decision for a year and for the motion to close Osoyoos Secondary School. Chair Marieze Tarr said parents didn't want the uncertainly of a delay, so she voted against it. After speaking on both sides of the issue, in the end she voted against the school closure.
