Lord Byng Secondary – PAC Website

This page lists issues that the Lord Byng Pac is currently addressing:

Budget cuts: The Lord Byng PAC does not support any budget cuts to the public schools that will directly affect school programs. This includes cuts to music programs, as well as all mini schools including the Byng Arts Mini school, and athletic programs, enrichment programs, and programs that directly affect special needs students, ESL students and students in general.  In response to the proposed budget cuts to school programs suggested by the Vancouver School Board, the Lord Byng PAC prepared the attached letter in April 2010.   LORD BYNG SECONDARY AGAINST BUDGET CUTS
