College group still reviewing purchase of Jackson site
After asking whether the Okanagan College would have the means to potentially purchase the site of the former JL Jackson School, the school district will wait a little longer for an answer.
School board chair Bobbi Johnson told the board at Tuesday’s regular meeting that a group, which included representatives from Okanagan College, the City of Salmon Arm and the Downtown Campus Committee, had asked for an extension until April 5 to determine if they can put together financing for the property.
The Downtown Campus Committee has selected the former JL Jackson School site as the preferred option for an expanded Okanagan College campus in the city.
