Bowen students to study on island

A WEST Vancouver School Board
decision allowing grade seven stu-
dents living on Bowen Island to
study at the elementary school
there has parents elated.

The board voted last year to re-
quire grade seven students on
Bowen Island to attend secondary
schools in the West Vancouver
district, but overturned their deci-
sion Monday night based on a
report by superintendent Bill May.

Students can still attend district
secondary schools if their parents
choose.

A Bowen Island parent atten--

ding the board mecting said, ‘This
option was supported overwhelm-
ingly by the Bowen Island parents
surveyed,”’

The Bowen Island Parents
Association surveyed ail Bowen
Island parents of children entering
grade seven in 1987-88.

But superintendeat Bill May said

this option should be reviewed in
April, 1988, and should continue
only if it incurs no extra cost to the
school district.

Board member Margot Furk
said the Bowen Island parents
should be aware they are making a
trade off — their children will not
receive all the educational options
offered by the secondary schools,
bul they will remain in the semi-
rural ambience of the island com-

munity.
