The Vancouver School Board has turned away neighbourhood children from eight elementary schools, due to a lack of space.
In this story, I explain that the teachers' court win means smaller class sizes, which adds to a space crunch in schools that were already jam-packed.
Kids couldn't get in to Elsie Roy, Henry Hudson, False Creek, Emily Carr, Edith Cavell, General Gordon, Simon Fraser and David Livingstone elementary schools. Most of the students have been offered alternatives, but exact wait list numbers are not yet available.
Many students were also not able to get spaces in choice programs such as French or Mandarin immersion.
