LETTERS: Sanctuary schools could be costly pursuit

Dear Editor Re: When kids have to keep a big secret, Burnaby NOW , March 23. Schools as a sanctuary? Hmmm, I wonder how many resources will be used and money it will cost to research this initiative.

Schools as a sanctuary? Hmmm, I wonder how many resources will be used and money it will cost to research this initiative. Will schools be required to provide accommodation, food and clothing for the students?

Aren’t churches better equipped to handle students and families who are in the process of being deported? The school district has a home-based learning teacher who can assist with the student’s education while they are in a sanctuary. Doesn’t it make one wonder why other school districts haven’t implemented schools as sanctuaries?
