Think the Burnaby school district could have done a better job getting rid of snow and ice at your kids’ school? Want to give staff a pat on the back for a job well done?
The school district is looking for your feedback.
School board chair Ron Burton expressed his appreciation at a public meeting Monday to local parents, students and staff for their understanding during recent record-setting snowfalls, freezing temperatures and accumulations of ice.
The unusual weather events had staff and extra hired contractors working long hours to remove snow and ice from many kilometres of schools stairs, sidewalks, parking lots and heavily burdened roofs, Burton said in a board chair report.
“Unprecedented situations such as this one always provide learning opportunities,” he said.
School officials plan to review district procedures and talk with city hall about the city’s snow removal priorities to prepare for similar winters in the future.
“…Schools are an essential priority during and after a snowfall,” he said.
