School District 52 in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, has released its schedule for public meetings and an online survey to help plan the 2026/27 school year budget. These meetings provide a way for parents, staff, and local taxpayers to share their thoughts on spending priorities before the district sets its final plan for next year.
On February 24, 2026, the district opened the official budget survey to collect community feedback. Residents have until March 31, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. to submit their responses regarding how the district should fund various programs, staffing levels, and school services.
The district has also published a list of meeting dates, which they call the Annual Budget Consultation dates, for those who want to participate in the process. This input is used by the board to decide how to balance the needs of students across the region, including those in Port Edward, Metlakatla, and Hartley Bay.
Board Chair Kate Toye and the other five trustees will review the feedback as they prepare the final spending plan alongside Superintendent Andrew Samoil. Along with regular school costs, the district is also continuing work on the seismic replacement project at Prince Rupert Middle School, which remains a top priority for the local education system.
