The education minister says she knows that Surrey school district has a problem with a lack of classroom space. The question is what Margaret Macdiarmid will do about it. Belle Puri reports.
See took a classroom visit for education minister to learn a lesson other than Surrey of known for sometimes.
“The sense this is a very wrapped growing district. We haven’t been keeping up.”
With more children than any other BC communities, Surrey’s the fast growing school district in the province. Already one in ten students doesn’t have a spot in a regular classroom. Surrey has over 7000 students in portables, enough to fill 14 elementary schools.
Teachers want more classrooms and more money to deal with the district’s 14M dollars budget shortfall.
“The reality is the dollars that are coming in the classroom is not enough to provide the same level of the service that we provided in a year and past.”
The minister only announced today was about size make upgrading project, but one of the new space she says is coming. Not new buildings, but new advance portables that will feel more like buildings.
“In some cases it will be a module classrooms, but I haven’t been in any yet. But I’m told we’ve been building those kind of structural actually for Alberta for sometime and they very much feel like an NX.”
“I feel quite confident that she is aware of our situation here.”
That’s the big change from a few weeks ago. You were upset, outrage, change is that all it takes, the minister comes to the town?
“No. You have to show me the results.”
The next time the minister visit, the students hope they will really have something to think about.
