A few months ago I wanted to know exactly how many portables there were in every community in the province. The province said "too bad, you'll have to contact every single school district in British Columbia." Fortunately, I'm a very stubborn person. cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…
We asked every school district in B.C. how many portables they have. Here's what we found | CBC News

The issue of school portables in British Columbia aren't just confined to Surrey, B.C. — and depending on how you look at the numbers, the city is nowhere close to the largest hot spot.

19/ So the question: Does a public school district have an onus to plan for all the kids that live and will live in its area? I encourage all DPACs in BC to submit the same or similar question. And @SurreyDPAC & @VanDPAC will be chatting about joint advocacy; Who else is in?

Remote learning ... functional closure ... hopefully we don't need to turn to either, but it still may be handy to know how to easily set up a @MicrosoftTeams meeting with someone using your @office365 @Outlook account. @Surrey_Schools #sd36learn vimeo.com/662794943
