Dear Editor,
Re: “Funding is a $50M penalty, not a change of heart, “Letters, Jan. 18.
While the provincial government’s funding of education leaves much to be desired generally, specifically with respect to Anderson elementary school’s expansion, the government has not been “dragging its feet” since the “convenient photo op for the BC Liberal party” last year.
As any Anderson parent or student could tell you, construction has been underway since August. Even with delays caused by the unusually cold and snowy weather this winter, the new addition is still scheduled to be ready for the new school year in September.
One year to build a new school addition does not seem unusually slow to me.... Admittedly, I’m an American expat and more used to public education being in far worse straits.
