The consensus around the board table was trustees would rather wait a year and have the province role out all-day kindergarten in all schools at once.
Next September urban areas could experience a migration of the kindergarten population to schools with all-day kindergarten leaving the ones without dry, education board trustee Barry Lindahl warned. Such an inflow or outflow could be disruptive to schools and districts.
“[West Van] is up the creek if [another district] gets it and we don’t,” Lindahl said.
The district doesn’t want to end up with a “have and have not” situation, the board’s vice-chair Cindy Dekker said.
“It ends up being frustrating,” she said.
Does Bill No. 8 mean the responsibility for the Child Care Facilities Act (PEI) might be changing?
An Act to Amend the Child Care Facilities Act
BE IT ENACTED by the Lieutenant Governor and the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Prince Edward Island as follows:
1. Clause 1(i) of the Child Care Facilities Act R.S.P.E.I. 1988, Cap.
C-5 is repealed and the following substituted:
(i) “Minister” means the member of the Executive Council charged
by the Lieutenant Governor in Council with the administration of
this Act;
EXPLANATORY NOTES
The responsibility for the Child Care Facilities Act is now under the
Minister of Education and Early Childhood Development. Previously,
the Minister of Social Services and Seniors was responsible for the
administration of the Act. The amendment to the definition of “Minister”
will eliminate the need to amend this definition in the Act in the future
should there be a change in departmental responsibilities.
The following is information about Bill No. 8, An Act to Amend the Child Care Facilities Act, promoted during
the Third Session of the 63rd General Assembly of the Prince Edward Island Legislative Assembly.
