NAME W IT H H E LD BY REQUEST A `real' solution Re: F rench Im m ersion students could p la y m usical schools, O akville Beaver, Wed., Nov. 14, 2001 As a parent o f a child attending Pine Grove Public School, I am extrem ely concerned with the outcom e o f deci sions m ade by the B oard for both the French Im m ersion C om m unity and the E nglish C om m unity here in W est Oakville, specifically Southw est French Im m ersion. Som e changes (though dis co n certin g ) are inevitable; schools closed, portables added and children displaced. These changes are o f great concern, but not as concerning as m ak ing sure these changes are m ade in the m ost "hum ane" w ay as possible with the least am ount o f disruption to our children's lives. T he individual who m ade the com m ent, "T here is no real solution" -- is in for a rude aw akening w hen they see the "real" results o f their decisions. T he m eeting o f Nov. 7 (w hich I attended), w as to present to the Board, changes to the "un real" solutions already decided and voted upon. Not once was it m entioned or proposed (unlike the com m ent m ade in the arti cle) that the English children not attend their hom e school o f G ladys Speers (currently an all English program ). All we ask is that our French im m ersion population be kept together w hether it is a single track or a dual track. O ur G rade 7 /8's will be separated from the m ajori ty o f their French Im m ersion peers (pro posed for G ladys Speers), losing integri ty o f the program as w ell as resources and stuffed into a school (Eastview) w hose capacity will be so over-crow ded by the existing Eastview English stu dents, the added G rades 7/8 English stu dents from QE Park and the G rades 7/8 French Im m ersion from Q E Park. We are looking at a school that can current ly accom m odate 125 G rades 7/8 stu dents let alone 375 being cram m ed into existing facilities (gym, lockers, labs, etc.). The total population o f that school will climb to 796 o f w hich 596 w ill be accom m odated in the school and the rest in at least eight portables. G uess w ho will get the portables? The younger English grades because the 7 /8 's will need the school facilities. W hat about the traffic, the parking, the nearby com m unity? Is this the right decision for any? M eanw hile, G ladys Speers Public School (down the road) could be sitting w ith nine to 17 em pty classroom s (depending on w hen it's renovated). T he solution: P lace the F rench Im m ersion G rades 7 /8 's w ith their French im m ersion students (already at G ladys), keep it as a dual track (English students attend their hom e school) and take the heat off Eastview with all its prop o sed problem s and portables. G ladys Speers is already being renovat ed, so why not renovate it to accom m o date the G rades 7/8's too. By far, this is a "real" solution with "real" results.
