note: mmmm -■■^■■•p CHAIRMAN WILL PHONE MC GEER Situation at Aldergrove prompts board action By GREG THOMAS MURRAYVILLE — Amid allegations of stalling, and indifferent treatment by provincial officials, the Langley school board voted Monday to take the battle for a South Aldergrove school past the letter writing stage. Board chairman Kaye Armstrong will make a phone rail. Trustee Brian Westwood moved that Armstrong personally telephone education minister Pat McGeer in response to a request for action by two correspondents at the board's regular meeting Monday. Peter Laws, a teacher at Parkside Centennial school, suggested the board pressure McGeer to speed the construction of the school, or persuade the ministry of education to change its policy on school construction. Langley Teachers' Association president Terry Eastman also wrote the board to express the teachers' support for its efforts. All three elementary schools in the Aldergrove area could go on shift next year if the new school isn't built on time. Several classes arc already being housed in portables at both Parkside and Aldergrove elementary. "The situation in Aldergrove is getting quite acute." commented Westwood during the debate. Westwood's complaint of shoddy treatment stemmed from McGeer's failure to respond to three previous requests for meetings. The minister cancelled a re cently planned rendezvous with the board in favor of a conference of educational administrators in Toronto, and has not contacted them since. Secretary-treasurer Svcin Urdahl announced Monday that working drawings of the new school will bc available for tenders by January 23 at the latest.
