History
School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) was created in 1996 when the Province of B.C.'s then-Ministry of Education, Skills and Training reduced the number of school districts from 75 to 57 (now 60), largely to save money by restructuring. School District No. 86 (Creston-Kaslo) and School District No. 7 (Nelson) were amalgamated to create what is now commonly referred to as SD8.
In 2016, the district board of education considered closing Creston Education Centre, Jewett Elementary School, Salmo Elementary School, Trafalgar Middle School, Winlaw Elementary School, and Yahk Elementary School.[1] The board of education voted to keep Jewett and Winlaw elementary schools open. Salmo Elementary and Trafalgar Middle School also remained open.[2]
