The pres­i­dent of the Par­ent-Teacher As­so­ci­a­tion (PTA) at Boissiere RC Pri­ma­ry School says she is fed up with the re­peat­ed ex­cus­es from au­thor­i­ties over per­sis­tent flood­ing that is dis­rupt­ing class­es.

“My grand­daugh­ter start­ed here in first year; she’s now in Stan­dard Five, and this has been on­go­ing. It’s got­ten worse over the last two or three years. Yes­ter­day, I was in the flood to col­lect my grand­chil­dren, and you could hard­ly walk in the school—you couldn’t even get in to pick up the chil­dren,” Camil­la Bharat said on Tues­day.

Af­ter rough­ly sev­en years of re­quest­ing a so­lu­tion, the ear­ly dis­missal of class­es on the sec­ond day of the new school year pushed Bharat to call for im­me­di­ate ac­tion. She said the PTA has ex­haust­ed all av­enues for ad­dress­ing the prob­lem.
