    Byelection for New Vancouver School Board Set for October

    The Canadian Press, 04 Aug, 2017 02:12 PM
      Education Minister Rob Fleming says a byelection will be held in October to restore the Vancouver School Board.
       
       
      The school district has been without a board of education since October 2016, when the existing board was removed from office by the previous provincial government.
       
       
      Dianne Turner was appointed as the official trustee of the board in an effort to bring stability to the district and improve financial stewardship, and Fleming says she will remain as a special adviser.
       
       
      Fleming says holding the byelection on Oct. 14, which is the same day as a city council byelection, will save the school district up to $1.5 million.
