VSB Superintendent McGregor on CBC Radio: The Land Asset Strategy is secret because otherwise it's "like sharing the final price you’d expect on your car when you list it. No organization would ever share that." So, the VSB is to schools what a car dealership is to cars? Yikes.

community+advocacy+support 🐝🌲🦉🦸🌈 E_Van_Mama Vancouver School Board Vik Khanna Kyenta JenniferReddy What a mess. It does not take a specialist or expert of sort to see how for out to lunch VSB is on this. Really embarrassing that the VSB board keeps defending this.

1/4 #vanpoli, let us hope BC Min of Education sees the actual writing on the wall: 1. VSB has 50,919 BC kids in MyEdBC system today 2. VSB forecast for Sept 2025 says 48,377 BC kids. To achieve the VSB 2025 forecast goal, 2,542 students have to leave the VSB. None can enter. Realistic?

Vancouver School Board cannot be allowed to plan for a city with no new children moving here. That is absurd. That is a dereliction of its responsibility. Oversight is needed. ABC Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim Rachna Singh David Eby Michael Lee

"I am really sad the school is closing because it is such an amazing school and I had the best experience there. I am sad that future VSB students like my little brother and sister don't get to go to QEA now." Grade 3 student at QEA Vancouver School Board shame on you. cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

3/6 It's critical because data informs policy, funding, and perception. The VSB is pushing outdated data onto public record, aiming to fabricate a false narrative of decline. 💼🔍 Is #vanpoli stupid? Will it work? I hope not! Consequences are severe. x.com/vikkhanna/stat…

Day 5 before J. Gomery. It has taken A LOT to get here. Parents should not need to take a school board to court to get transparency, proper process, and fair decisions.

FYI - For anyone in #bced or #vanpoli interested in student enrolment numbers, the 2023/2024 data set is now available through BC Open Data catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/bc-sch… For anyone interested in Vancouver School Board enrolment numbers here is what they look like this year. Vancouver DPAC, JenniferReddy

This is why Vancouver School Board should not be selling off land.

Why does the City of Vancouver continue to just take the junk that the Vancouver School Board provides and use it for urban planning? Why is province not checking; what type of communities are we building, Jeffrey Ferrier? People who know how dense Kingsway & Joyce is & will become, please comment.

Vik Khanna Jimmy Scrambles 🇨🇦🇫🇮🎃 🐧 🦞 YVRYIMBY Lenny Zhou 🇨🇦🇺🇦 George Heyman Michael Lee Jagrup Brar Taleeb Noormohamed 🇨🇦 Schools're far more than places to educate children. They're the hub of the community, bringing people of all ages together. They, like the 7-10 minute walk neighbourhood centre, must be within walking distance for the children & adults. That's how real community is created.

Vancouver shouldn't pass a school board budget without informed input from public stakeholders. There is no reason to compress the budget timeline. Jennifer is bringing two motions to VSB tonight: media.vsb.bc.ca/media/Default/…

#vanpoli #bced VSB staff throw in the towel on "enrolment decline" narrative and now switch to predicting big growth. VSB will soon admit that it is in an elementary school space crisis. Some VSB Trustees will run for the hills and seek other political positions. Makes sense.

Going to go out on a limb here and say the VSB forecasting needs to be completely thrown out and redone
