The Board of Education for Cowichan Valley School District No. 79 is looking for community feedback on the 2020-21 budget.
The Board asks the community for input on budget priorities and uses this feedback to guide the creation of the school district budget.
“The Board of Education realizes that we are in an uncertain and ever-changing time right now due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” noted Candace Spilsbury, chair of the Cowichan Valley School District’s Board of Education. “We know that many of our families and learners have uncertainty in their lives, and we are doing our best to support our community through food programs, support for essential service workers, and plans to continue educational opportunities for all of our learners.
“In addition to all of these ongoing responsibilities, the Board has to continue to plan for the future. As such, we must continue with our budget planning for the 2020-21 school year. Like every year we are coming to you, our community, to help us determine where to focus our resources. Please take a moment to fill out this brief survey and help us with this budget process.”
The 2020-21 Board of Education budget survey can be found on the district website at: www.sd79.bc.ca, Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter at @CowichanSchools.
The survey will be open for responses until April 19.
