As the Chair of the Board of Education of School District No. 8 (Kootenay lake), I write to provide clarity from the Board and, hopefully, answer concerns expressed through various media channels.
While I certainly don’t want to discount the valid concerns of any Wildflower School parents or stakeholders, it is vitally important as we continue that we all have accurate, objective information.
Transparency and Facilities Consultation Process
The 2016 Facilities Plan, the 2019 Facilities Plan, and the 2021 Plan adopted this year, were created from lengthy, public consultative processes, with all information shared publicly on the District’s website on the District’s Facilities page. Numerous stakeholders including Wildflower parents participated in this process that started with the adoption of the District’s 2019 Long‐Range Facilities Plan adoption in December 10, 2019

Wildflower School is a thriving multi-age school from Kindergarten to Grade 9 that operates within the public system.
It is a program of choice, focused on innovative and social-emotional learning that has served the Nelson community for nearly 20 years. Unfortunately, SD8 senior staff does not recognize the value of this education model.
SD8 has turned classrooms into administrative offices at Central School and now students are being squeezed out of their school.
Families and teachers of Wildflower are asking for classroom space at Central, especially now that Grade 9s will not be going to LVR in September. There is potential space for another suitable classroom within the Central building but SD8 is not willing to make any adjustments or improvements for students whom they share this building with.
