Several parents have written letters to various levels of our school and district requesting a meeting with the parents and all those requests have been denied.
But why do we want a meeting? In the sampling of emails posted here the reasons are clear. We want a face to face meeting to address these issues with the right people. We do not want to continue to have to write letters, leave phone messages etc. We want to be able to ask questions to members of the company that did the investigation, from members of WorksafeBC.
Both of these agencies have told me since early July that they support and have also requested of the school district that a meeting with parents be held.
But still the school denies us a meeting. When I spoke with Mrs. Brine in early September I was told that a meeting wasn't believed to be necessary as there was enough information on the school website. I was also told that members of the district did not want to come down to the school to have parents express their anger and frustration at them. This completely misses the point if you ask me.
Read the letters posted here, share yours if you like and add a comment below if you would like an information meeting to discuss the health of our school with parents, the school district, WorksafeBC, Pacific Environmental and any other organization or person that would be able to positively contribute to sharing their knowledge and information.
All we want is a safe and healthy school for all our kids. That's it. Straightforward and simple. And we need transparency from the school so we can trust and believe that they are acting in our children's best interests and so far we just haven't seen that.
