The PPT
slides were at times quite detailed and best viewed on SD 52 site where promised to be put up by
Tuesday --- (previous PPT link at bottom page) |
|
|
|
Good quote: Board
of Education as scapegoat for what are really Provincial government funding
decisions |
As
a review, above are the reasons for board ‘being forced’ into having to close
schools |
|
But it is the declining student population (and thus per capita payments declining while building/ teaching expenses remain steady or increase over time) that seems most obvious driver ‘New’ with this
presentation was the emphasis that it was the quality of education that was
‘really’ the driver of the process –more later during comments etc |
|
|
Example of
detailed slides |
|
There
were numerous slides like the one left which are quite complex and distil
several distinct lines of thought --- best read from the online PPT when it
is put up |
|
To
me this is the principal weakness of the whole exercise --- ‘we’ are
knowingly going to use PRSS as a Middle School while it has some of the
riskiest structures from seismic point of view ---- I suspect $$ and not good
sense driving the exercise – More later |
New
Information which I consider critical While Seismic has
been downplayed --- if there were ever a quake locally I suspect this kind of
information will come back to haunt us --- Here Roosevelt best – Port Ed worst
and Westview with one of the blocks risky |
|
|
|
I will
return to this tomorrow --- note the
deadline for submissions |
Timelines
and Implementation etc |
|
More
on changed catchment areas etc |
|
|
A large
audience showed up |
|
But
we have been here before – see my earlier page with links to the last
period of school closures etc |
|
