District Loses 300 Students This Year
A report in the Bulletin indicates a decline of 300 students in the district this year, and a further decline of 68 students next year and another drop of 83 students in the 2014 - 2015 year.
One reason for the decline is the fact that many people moving to Nanaimo are older people who do not have school-age children.
The article did not say whether the declining numbers will result in any operational savings within the school district.
It would also seem to support the idea that Nanaimo is not attracting and keeping young families who are likely facing difficult employment prospects.
