Already have 4 portables
Fastest Growing Community
New developments everywhere
Room for houses
No room for their kids
Next Phase ready to go…
Where will more go?
Problems with portables
• Safety of our children: No bathrooms• Security of the building: External doors
have to be left open• Health…no running water for washing
hands, equipment or drinking• $10,000.00 per portable to install according
to the Ministry of Education
Safety of the children…
Only way for kids to enter
External Door Security?
Pedophile?Overly cautious parents? There has already
been one child sexually assaulted by a stranger in this neighbourhood.
Bushes besides the portable are hiding area for pedophiles, never mind the external doors being unlocked and accessible to the whole school.
School safety is an increasing concern around the country.
Facilities too small
Computer Lab…?Every year it’s you’re next
1 per 10 students
• That is.. If all 17 1990 era computers work at the same time.
Overcrowding in hallways
Overcrowding in parking
Gym Capacity
• A whole school assembly with parents cannot take place
• There physically not enough room
• Within the next three years a whole school assembly will not be legal
Not even half the parents can attend a meeting
School concert
Had to be held at the local high school. We are too big to have events
at our own school.
Full class cannot participate.Safety issue for intermediates
Change Rooms????
• Non-existent change facilities. Students are unable to change into gym strip or wash after exercise.
Exercise??? We can’t even play league games at our
school
Healthy School??
• In some of the classrooms, this is what our children see every day when they sit in their seats.
Hey I saw a window there..
That kid can see outside…
Yeah right…
And the bathroom is…
• Not only do our kids have to work in this type of environment, but when they do need to go to the bathroom they have to walk ½ way across the school
And the bathroom is outside
Solutions
• Ecole Davis Road be moved to top priority for renovation or replacement.
• In the meantime bathrooms be installed in portables
• External exit doors be built into classrooms• Computer lab be updated as a district
priority
Conclusion
• It is time to address the needs of our children.
• It is time to put Davis Road School on your mind map.
• We might be at the end of the your school district, but we are the center of our children’s daily lives.
