Community Response To The Facilities Review
Oceanside Communitites for Quality Education(OCQE) was formed in response to a considered closure of the community's only high school. OCQE has participated in three public presentations to the communities affected as well as a forum to garner input from community members. Many ideas, supported by expertise in the Qualicum Beach, can have a beneficial impact on enrollment at KSS. These ideas have been given substantial weight by a Town of Qualicum Beach Youth Task Force, Kwalikum Secondary School: A Community Plan prepared by Dr. Doug Player for the Town of Qualicum Beach.
School Board Trustee election are slated for November 2011 and school closures will most likely dominate discussions and debate.

Famous quotes containing the words community, response, facilities and/or review:
“Stories of law violations are weighed on a different set of scales in the Black mind than in the white. Petty crimes embarrass the community and many people wistfully wonder why Negroes don’t rob more banks, embezzle more funds and employ graft in the unions.... This ... appeals particularly to one who is unable to compete legally with his fellow citizens.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
“Parents’ accepting attitudes can help children learn to be open and tolerant. Parents can explain unfamiliar behavior or physical handicaps and show children that the appropriate response to differences should be interest rather than revulsion.”
—Dian G. Smith (20th century)
“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Twice and thrice over, as they say, good is it to repeat and review what is good.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
