Hudson School RENOVATIONS UPDATE
Greetings parents,Members of the PAC Executive will be appearing at the Committee II – Planning & Facilities meeting on January 20. (See http://www.vsb.bc.ca/calendars-events/committee-ii-planning-facilities-meeting-68 for information.)
We will be presenting Hudson teachers, staff, students and parents’ preference for the location of new classroom to be put into the school for the next school year. As we learned at the last PAC Meeting, the two choices are to:
a) Move the library into room 107 classroom (reducing the size of the library dramatically) and renovating the existing library space into two classrooms. This is a costly option that would increase anxiety and stress for the students while significantly decreasing the library facilities.
b) Convert the staff room to a classroom and create a new staff lounge in the boys’ change room area (a very large space currently used as a storage space) plus offer ‘satellite’ staff stations in the main building.
The PAC Executive, teachers, and staff feel that it is unnecessary at this juncture (pre-seismic upgrading) for the students to endure any negative change to their learning environment such as having their library facilities reduced and learning environment amenities dramatically impacted. Accordingly, PAC, teachers, staff will be presenting a united front proposal to move the staff room to the boys change room and create ‘satellite’ staff stations in the main building. We all agree that we do not want the library moved or changed in any way. There is no need to impact the students or their amenities with this small renovation.
What do you think? The PAC Executive invites parents to email your views to HudsonPAC@gmail.com. We may include your input and feedback in our presentation to VSB Board and Trustees on the 20th!
Our scheduled January 20th PAC Meeting will be postponed, and all agenda items tabled until the February 17TH PAC meeting. See www.hudsonpac.ca/meetings
