Students at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School will not return to the current school site in the wake of last week’s mass shooting at the school and at a nearby home that left nine people dead, the local school district said.
In a Feb. 13 letter to families, Christy Fennell, superintendent of School District No. 59 (Peace River South), said the district will prioritize students’ emotional and physical safety and will announce its plans over the next week. She added that the existing school site will not be re-opening.
