Keep Vancouver school tax in Vancouver
ABC would fight to keep provincial school tax collected in Vancouver in Vancouver schools, increase classroom teaching assistance, and bring swimming lessons into the school day.
SCHOOLS AND STUDENT SUPPORT
ABC Vancouver on schools
ABC is running seven School Board candidates. Its school commitments appear under the "Restoring Vancouver" and "Raising Vancouver" headings of its platform rather than a schools heading.
The school tax commitment is a request to the province. School tax is collected on Vancouver properties and goes into provincial general revenue. A school board can ask for that to change; it cannot change it.
