If John Rustad has his way, School District 57 could see a “trades school” created in the near future.
Rustad, a first-term trustee on the school board, passed a motion at Tuesday’s board meeting to establish a steering committee to look into the idea.
The reason he did so was because the Kindergarten to Grade 12 education system is, he believes, “geared almost 100 per cent toward an academic career, and only about 25 per cent of our students actually take this path. So more needs to be done to provide opportunities for other students.”
The current education system values academics above all else, he says. What course offerings there are in trades and technical training are not geared toward the needs of the workplace.
A unanimous vote to abandon the British Columbia Treaty Commission (BCTC) at last week’s Treaty Forum held on the Nak’azdli Reserve, near Fort St. James, has some members of the Carrier Sekani Tribal Council (CSTC) upset.
Chief Leonard Thomas of Nak’azdli wasn’t in attendance when the vote was taken, having had to leave the meeting early on March 28, but he was dismayed with the actions of the council.
“I wasn’t impressed with the resolution being passed at that particular forum,” said Thomas.
What has Thomas upset is the forum wasn’t for making any major decisions, it wasn’t an annual general meeting, it was to inform and discuss the CSTC position and to hear from community members. Thomas wasn’t the only Chief absent at the time of the vote. Other chiefs weren’t present, including Chief Thomas Alexis of Tl’azt’en Nation and Chief Robert Charlie of Ts’il Kaz Koh First Nation (Burns Lake). In total the CSTC has eight member nations.
