WITH COMPLAINTS

N. Van trustees

turn to public

TWO NORTH Vancouver
Trustees are going to go public with the frustrations

School District

they say they have been experiencing on their

Board.

by JOANNE MacDON ALD

Marge Goodman and
Dr. Ross Regan said in
separate interviews they feel
they are being perceived as
‘‘negative’> by’ the public
because of press reports of
their negative votes on such
issues as the decision to deny
the the North Shore In-
dependent School Society
space within District 44.

Both Goodman and Regan
say they voted against that
motion, not because they
necessarily favor the concept
but because they felt they
had not been supplied the
information they needed to
make a decision by school
district staff or the Board

“Tl voted no because |
didn’t get the information |
requested from the Board or
Whe administrauion. Betore |
can make a decision on
anything | have to know the
facts,’’ said Goodman

Goodman made the
comments after she and
Regan voted against a mo-
uuon approved by the Board
which stated that the North
‘Shore Independent School
Society be advised that there
was no suitable space
available to them in the
coming year, and that the
intention to consolidate the

maintenance
administration, continuing
education, and storage fa-
cities of the District be
confirmed, with action to
proceed in the coming
months as feasible.

Goodman said she had
requested information on the
appraised value of the site
presently occupied by School
Disitrict 44 admunistrative
offices (which the = district
says will be sold), the cost of
the move by the Schooi
District offices to Hamilton
School, the costs of
renovating Hamilton School
in preparation for the move
of the School District offices
and the maintenance
department and the cost of
bringing Hamilton School
up to burlding and fire code

standards.

‘‘As a businesswoman, |
want to know the costs of
what we're doing on the
Board. When I asked the
Board if there was a need to
move to Hamiltoa I was toid
‘no,’ ‘*' said Goodman.
‘*Now the Board has decided
to consolidate the
maintenance and ad-
ministrauon at Hamilton,
but Dr. Regan and | weren't
even aware of any = such
plan.”’

Regan concurred with
Goodman, saying the tenor
of the motion approved by
the board was ‘‘vague and
improperly worded.”’

‘“*The present administra-
tion office is using about
22,000 square feet, while
Hamilton School ts 93,000
square feet. The Board
administration offices only
need about one-third of the
