TALKING

Meee”

Mr. Weldon Cowan
(NVTA president) — states
there are many areas of rot
and decay throughour the.
schools with some portables
being so dirty and beyond
repair that they are consid-
ered unsafe.

In the same edition of the
paper we learn that the
school board is considering
relocation of its offices after
consultant Jonathan
Huggett fond the building
has been “kept up pretty well
but if you scratch the paint
away you'll find its kind of
rowards the end of its useful
life.”

I daresay that if you
scratch the paint away from
Maplewood or Lynnmour
schools, it is quite possible
the buildings would collapse.

It is difficule to under-;
stand how the school board
can manage to maintain its
offices so well when ‘the
schools themselves have not
even got enough funding to
afford appropriate cleaning.
personnel, :

Perhaps the order of
funding priorities should be
reconsidered.
