What a crazy time for education potential in Rossland, tonight I had the choice of attending two emergency meetings, one with the Red Mountain Race Club and the other with the the Rossland Neighborhood's of Learning committee, both meetings focused on continued education in Rossland. I was at the NOL meeting.
At the meeting tonight the Red Mountain Academy communicated to The NOL Committee that the Academy's mandate is to provide athletic training and coordination of that training with an educational provider, but not to actually be that Educational provider. The NOL is now taking charge of working with the timeline that the Red Mountain Academy has set out. The Academy has set a deadline of June 25 for a school to be in place to serve the 12 international student/athletes that are coming to Red Mountain and Rossland to train and go to school for the 2013/14 term. If an educational option is not in place by that date the Red Mountain Academy will have inform the international students who are registered that they will have to find an education alternative. The NOL is taking charge of working towards this deadline.
To make this vision grade k-12 viable in Rossland for the 2013-14 school term the NOL needs a minimum of 26 grade 8-12 students to register for school in Rossland this September.
A lot of things need to happen but the task is not insurmountable. We will see how this unfolds.
