Present and future enrollment in mini´«Ã½
Our schools are already operating beyond what the buildings and area standards can accommodate. If no additional steps are taken other than the expansion projects approved as of June 2023, we will be short 2,241 student spaces by 2037 according to projections prepared for our 2023 Long Range Facilities Plan.
As of the 2023 school year, district schools are already over capacity by nearly 600 students spread across K-12 enrollment with the greatest pressure being felt in the Fraser River Community.
