Francophone families protest move of École Beausoleil

But the lease expires this year and the Greater Victoria district plans to reclaim the building and reopen it next fall to deal with increasing enrolment and space pressures.
Beausoleil parents say their children are being treated like “second-class citizens” and will be moved to modular classrooms at Braefoot Elementary until a permanent francophone school gets built.
And they say that flies in the face of a Supreme Court of Canada decision last year that found francophone students are entitled to “an education experience that is substantively equivalent to the experience of the majority.”
Rebecca Mellett, who has a child in Grade 3 at École Beausoleil, said work has yet to begin on the temporary accommodations at Braefoot and parents are worried their children will have no place to go in September.
