Dear Editor
It seems after 50 years plus of subsidizing many programs of choice, neighbourhood schools and younger students, School District No. 40’s teenagers, their families and one huge secondary school have again dropped down the educational priority list for the school district and the province.
There has been over a decade-and-a-half of promises by district and provincial politicians. It is at the very least disheartening and, in my opinion, unjust to delay/postpone, for other projects, the commencement of a new high school in New Westminster.
The students at the secondary level are every bit as important as any other level in the district and cannot be ignored any longer.
Talk about the crumbling educational infrastructure in Detroit city – a coat of paint can’t cover the mould, rot and rodent droppings at NWSS.
