From the Vancouver Sun tonite, I could not paste the link here somehow:
Community works to save eastside school from closure
Trustees decide on Monday if Garibaldi Annex will qualify for a 3-year reprieve.
A community plan to save a small eastside school targeted for closure has won critical support from school district managers.
Now it's up to elected trustees to decide at a meeting Monday if Garibaldi Annex deserves a reprieve or if it's destined to become the first Vancouver school closure since 2002.
The board of education signalled last fall that it wanted to close the annex, which has only 41 students. But when parents protested, trustees invited them to suggest how the school might be saved.
After months of research, they presented a plan for a hybrid of traditional learning and home schooling. In a report to the board this weekend, district managers said the plan could work - with a few modifications. They suggest moving the distributed learning program at Van Horne elementary to Garibaldi and establishing a before- and after-school program at the annex.
If trustees agree, the school will have three years to grow enrolment. If it fails to attract 36 new students it will close in 2011
