Wasaga Beach High School

Please don’t get bored with posts about Wasaga Beach getting a high school. This is a CRITICAL time in the SCDSB’s quest to attain funding for a high school here in town.

The Ministry is considering applications for funding from School Boards across the Province.

What happened the last time the Province called for funding requests? Well, the Mayor and Council used municipal resources to go after that funding. They supported the Catholic School Board by arranging meetings with the Minister of Education at the AMO conference. They attended $1000 a person fund raising event parties, to take advantage of another opportunity to meet the Minister in charge and plead our case. They partnered with the Board and a Developer to create what they call a hub. They reached out to Colleges and Universities to find partners.

Now, we have an opportunity to get funding for a full STEM public high school here in Wasaga Beach. The Simcoe County District School Board has even purchased the property.

What is the Town of Wasaga Beach doing this time? The Mayor wrote a letter. Besides that…. Crickets!

Why?

Brian Smith, You have given yourself a 40% pay increase municipally, a 165% pay increase at the County Level. Here’s an idea…. Earn your pay. Get to work PUBLICLY throwing your support behind the SCDSB proposal.

Now, would be good!
