groupings:

fA have school policy covering
deportment, appearance, discipline
and home work;

The proposal, the school’s propo-
nents say, Is about parents having a
choice in publiy education.

“There’s a segment of the North
Vancouver popolation who really
want an alternative to the public sys-
tem,” one parent said.

licly funded through the NVSD, the
alternative school would also try to
raise revenuc through parent
fundraising and a corporate donor
program.

Parents weuld not be required to
pay tuition fees.

The proposal presentation came
two weeks after NVSD adopted a
new policy for allowing alternative
programs or schools in the district
and while NVSD is examining a draft
proposal to implement similar Local
School Councils (LSCs) at each pub-
lic school in the district.”

“We hear a call for back-to-
basics,” Garneau told trustees. “Don't
make the mistake of trying to make
this a one-size-fits-all (system).”

icy for alternative school proposals,
