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.
