TRACK UPGRADE MOTION (pg. 4)
Discussion on the following notice of motion by Chairperson Dixon, seconded by Trustee Saip, at the September 26, 2017 Regular Board meeting:
“THAT the Delta Board of Education invite, in writing, all levels of government to meet to discuss opportunities for funding and construction of replacement tracks at North Delta and South Delta Secondary Schools.”
The rationale for this motion is the provincial government announcement of a new community initiative fund which could include track upgrade/replacement. As a result, Trustees would like to explore what support might be available from Provincial, Federal, and Municipal governments. With over 15,000 students plus their families in Delta, many residents would benefit from track upgrades. As well, tracks are also used by the community at large for fitness purposes.
M/S Trustees Windsor/Saip
THAT the motion be amended to read as:
“THAT the Delta Board of Education invite, in writing, all levels of government to meet to discuss opportunities for funding and construction of replacement tracks at North Delta Secondary and a South Delta area school.”
Trustee Windsor noted there are two schools in South Delta, and by amending the wording this would allow staff to determine the most appropriate location. Trustees discussed asking staff to do the same for the North Delta area schools.
M/S Trustees Saip/Kanakos
THAT the proposed amendment be amended to read as:
“THAT the Delta Board of Education invite, in writing, all levels of government to meet to discuss opportunities for funding and construction of replacement tracks at a North Delta area secondary school and a South Delta school area secondary school.”
