Prose comments

Resolved comments

*On the Lead

"five of which are elementary, three of which are" The second usage of "of which" is redundant.

Done. TBr and ley 21:07, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, the third paragraph is too detailed for the lead, why dont you shorten it and merge it with the second?

Done. TBr and ley 21:07, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On Schools

Comment #1 on lead is the same here.

Done. TBr and ley 21:07, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"in parts of the southern Okanagan and lower Similkameen regions.". "In parts of" sound weird. Try to use a better wording for it. [you may like to use "Inside"]

Done. TBr and ley 21:07, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"part of the Okanagan maintain". "part of the Okanagan region maintain..."

Done. TBr and ley 21:07, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"consist of pipels from Grade 8 to 12". I guess you may wanted to say "pupils"?

Done. TBr and ley 21:07, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On Production

"at schools with district 53" I guess it's "within"?

Done. TBr and ley 21:07, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand completely the first sentence on the second paragraph. I mean, i think you need to expand a bit about from where trhat deffinition comes and so.
Also, why the policy was amended? could you add a bit about it?

Done. TBr and ley 21:11, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have a little issue with the last sentence from the second paragraph: From what I read, it seems a bit useless or written more like an advert than an encyclopedic statement. Affirmations such as "recognize the importance of" gives me that feeling.

Done per above issue. TBr and ley 21:11, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review! I've addressed all of the concerns listed. TBr and ley 21:11, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
