Offending signage used to adorn the floor of the old school, now sits by the basketball court in the school’s playground

The sponsor of a motion to remove a sign from a westside French immersion school said she’s hopeful and positive it will pass Monday night’s Vancouver school board committee meeting.

The sign was placed in the school’s playground and the school’s parent advisory council voted last year to ask the board to remove Rhodes’ name. Both Rhodesia and the Rhodes Scholarships are named after Cecil Rhodes, a late 19th century British businessman, South African mining magnate and politician, and a racist.
