BY SEAN MCINTYRE DRIFTWOOD STAFF Students returning to the halls of Salt Spring Island’s schools this week can rest assured there is likely no better place to receive an education, based on a research review conducted earlier this year. The study, conducted by Simon Fraser University psychol- ogy professor Michelle Schmidt, reveals students enrolled in elementary schools with fewer than 300 students and high schools with less than 700 students are more likely to com- plete their schooling and show up for class. Schmidt noted that students from smaller schools feel safer, are more emotionally stable and more likely to devel- op positive relationships with their teachers. “School size matters,” Schmidt said. “More importantly, small schools improve educational outcomes.” “While large schools may provide more comprehensive instructional programs, research indicates that students who attend small schools, including those labelled ‘at risk,’ outperform those who attend large schools, and are more likely to proceed to higher education.” The fi ndings are the basis for a growing “small-school movement” sweeping across the United States, Schmidt added. Parents from the Coquitlam School District commis- sioned the review earlier this year after they learned of plans

EDITORIAL Left on our own t would be easy to crank up the indignation sirens and call for the lopping of heads in light of the KPMG IAdvisory Services report on the failed Salt Spring indoor tennis project and its waste of $300,000 of public money. But that was done to some degree as the sordid saga details came to light at various points during 2005-06. As KPMG consultant Gordon Gunn noted in presenting the report at a public meeting last week, any project has the potential to fail. His company’s fi ndings indicate the indoor tennis project had no option but to do so. It’s fascinating to follow the report’s “trail of blame” and see all the points at which a differ- ent action may have led to a better outcome, but of more import to island- ers is the gaping account- THE ISSUE: ability hole the report Trust money doesn’t preserve, protect exposes, which was reiter- KPMG indoor ated in person by Capital BY ERIC BOOTH owners on Gabriola Island.
