School District #83 trustees discuss a suggestion at Tuesday night's meeting that the entire board resign due to a lack of public confidence.

A survey to gauge satisfaction with the current school district leadership is being conducted by the Armstrong Spallumcheen Education Society.

The group, which was created following the announcement of the possible closure of Armstrong Elementary, is looking to gather public opinion in the wake of the recent resignation of three board trustees and the transfer of $10.5 million to a capital fund which was used to pay for the construction of a $9.3 million District Education and Support Centre in Salmon Arm.

The anonymous survey is directed at public satisfaction with the remaining six  school board trustees and the superintendent. It asks for options on public confidence in the board and whether they would support further resignations, as well as considering options for budget reporting to the province.

The board needs to present a budget to the province before the end of June, although the vote on the budget will take place at the May 10 regular board meeting to better accommodate any staffing adjustments.
