Salmon Arm Configuration
Trustees approved a comprehensive plan for the reconfiguration of Salmon Arm and area schools. Superintendent Donna Kriger noted that the reconfiguration plan had been in development for the past 13 months.
The transition plan will unfold over three years, allowing adequate time for minor renovations at J.L. Jackson, Salmon Arm Secondary, and Shuswap Middle School. This timeline also provides the Human Resources department the opportunity to work with the North Okanagan Teachers Association (NOSTA) and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE 523) to address staffing implications resulting from the reconfiguration.
