School District 73 enrolment numbers higher than projected
KAMLOOPS — Students are slowly settling into their first week back to school, and there are more appearing in every classroom across the district.
Enrolment numbers in School District 73 are up from projections that had the number of students down by 389. The biggest increases are being seen on the South Shore, especially at Valleyview Secondary.
“Juniper West is growing and there is pressure on Valleyview,” says district superintendent Alison Sidow. “Currently, Valleyview has 950 students. It was not built to hold 950 students, and so we are going to have to add some blocks in at Valleyview.”
