Schools are the heart and soul of our neighbourhoods. Our schools should be places where all students are free to learn and thrive.

In our Neighbourhoods

• Keep neighbourhood schools open.
• Increase child care spaces for pre-school and school-age children on school and publicly owned lands.

In our Schools

• Meet the learning needs of all students.
  
• Hire teachers and staff by removing all barriers to ensure class size and composition limits are met.
• Lead-free drinking water in all schools.
• Implement Sanctuary Schools policy so that a family’s immigration status does not affect their child’s learning.

At the School Board

• Build housing on VSB property to help alleviate the housing crisis in cooperation with all levels of government.
• Make housing for education workers an education issue.
• Re-open adult ed centers, so anyone who wants to learn can do so in the public system
• Support Indigenous communities to ensure representation on school board.
