Saanich School District 63, Back To School Report, Near Victoria BC
There are 3 school districts in the Greater Victoria area, in an earlier article we covered the Victoria School District (district 61) which you can review from this link and The Sooke School District (District 62) for a complete review of the 3 school districts in the South Vancouver Island area and communities .
The Saanich School District likely covers the 2 nd. largest geographic area of the 3 South Vancouver Island School Districts, and has a mixture of both urban and rural areas to service, as new population growth and construction is not as fast or active as for example in the Sooke School District, the school going population is at best holding, and the Saanich district has challenges to keep all its schools open and fully updated etc.
September 06, 2011 will be the first day of school but this is only a half day.

personal note:
Personally we think the time has come for the Ministry of Education to consider the merger of the 3 Greater Victoria School Districts and allocate the saved resources in improved school and classroom services and experiences for the students.....
But that is not in the cards for the foreseeable future, so today we are faced with potential school closures in both the Victoria and Saanich Districts, while new schools are needed in the Sooke district......... Using school buses to transit student from one school district to the next and save millions of dollars in the process is obviously not happening.......
