Closure
In the 2006-2007 school year the North Vancouver School District put Balmoral on a list of schools slated for closure due to declining enrollment. The school parent advisory committee started a campaign to find more funding and keep the school open.
The PAC's presentations presented a strategy to keep the school open, called the International Baccalaureate Program which was approved in 2007.
In 2009, the school district twinned an immediate rebuild of Carson Graham School with the closure of Balmoral in 2012. At issue was either the construction of a seismically sound, single facility at the Carson Graham site for 1,100 students, or the maintenance of two sites both with aging facilities and one with under 300 students.
