To The Editor:
Wildflower School is a thriving multi-age school from Kindergarten to Grade 9 that operates within the public system.
It is a program of choice, focused on innovative and social-emotional learning that has served the Nelson community for nearly 20 years. Unfortunately, SD8 senior staff does not recognize the value of this education model.
SD8 has turned classrooms into administrative offices at Central School and now students are being squeezed out of their school.
Families and teachers of Wildflower are asking for classroom space at Central, especially now that Grade 9s will not be going to LVR in September. There is potential space for another suitable classroom within the Central building but SD8 is not willing to make any adjustments or improvements for students whom they share this building with.
