Committee Stage: George Jay Elementary

George Jay Elementary: The idea received initial approval from trustees at the committee stage and will go before the regular board later this month. , according to Times Colonist. Its not a program that is just in one part of the city, she said. Its quite a viable option for every family in the city, so you dont have to travel long distances to get into a program. The increasing popularity of French immersion classes in Greater Victoria schools may prompt the district to expand the program to George Jay Elementary next year. If approved, George Jay would become the ninth elementary school in the district to offer French immersion, which may explain the programs growing popularity, said deputy superintendent Sherri Bell.
