THE daycare dilemma
at Capilano elemen-
tary continues to be
unresolved even
though students will
be hitting the books
on Tuesday.

The trouble revolves
around a daycare that refuses
to leave the school grounds.
The North Vancouver school
has ordered it out to make
way for three portables,
which are needed to house
the school’s burgeoning stu-
dent population.

On Sept. 5, the Supreme
Court of B.C. will hear
North Vancouver School
District 44’s petition for an
order to allow the board to
evict the daycare, which has a
2,100-square-foot (195 sq.
m) portable on school
grounds.

The school portables are
slated to go where the day-
care sits. Meanwhile, the
school must cope with the
space it has.

Capilano principal
Heather Cehak said the
school will shuffle students

and classes to accommodate

situation is sorted out,

When classes begin on
Tuesday, the ESE room,
which is a tittle smaller thana
regular classroom, will be
home to a reguiar class.

The ESL classes will be
taught ina back room in the
library used for meetiags,
saia Cehak. That means the
NaL teacher will only be able
to teach up to eight students
at a time instead of 12.

Another class
going into the computer fab,
and the computers will be
going into storage.

The third class will take
over the gymnasium, said
Cehak. “We'll have to hope
for some sunny weather so
we can have our PE classes
outside,” she said.

Cehak said the school
decided to make the changes
and wait for developments in
the daycare saga rather than
put the portables on different
sites due to safety issues and
the community’s and school’s
use of the playgrounds.

“It’s time consuming. I
think the lack of a decision is
frustrating because there
doesn’t seem to be any dead-
line dates that we can work
with.”
