School District 73 prioritizing infrastructure upgrades and future illness prevention methods
KAMLOOPS — Teachers and staff are back in schools this week, getting prepared to welcome students in for a new year. Around 4,000 new students are expected to enter B.C classrooms this year, and School District 73 is preparing for a student body increase in Kamloops.
Local schools are preparing to have most students return and Interim Superintendent Terry Sullivan says they’re also expecting some form of increase.
“It’s important that we see who returns and how many return because then we want to focus in on those students who need alternate learning models — children with special needs, children who are immunocompromised or have someone in their family who is immunocompromised.”
