School District 59 unaffected by fee ruling says official
South Peace superintendent Bill Deith reports the B C Supreme Court decision banning extra fees for required graduation courses is unlikely to affect School District 59 significantly. He notes only possible issues in music and confirms few fees exist beyond team dues, field trips outside curriculum, and occasional material costs in shops. The broader impact on districts across British Columbia remains unclear.
