I complained again this year to the principal who said that was a fight he was not fighting and our school board member said that she wanted to wait on that fight to see about adding a wing. I have lived in Youngsville 20 years and the butler building have been there without covered walkways at least that long. The LPSS does not care about the condition of the schools or the well being of the students, they worry about issues of little meaning, cell phones and hoodies. Who will pay when our kids are sick? They are not allowed to wear hooded coats, rain coats, umbrellas, etc. to get to an from these buildings. Our children are suppose to be Priority but somewhere along the way the children were forgotten. They don't even have enough textbooks to go around but LPSS can find the funds to give raises to its employees, many positions which are duplicated and unnecessary. CONSTRUCTING COVERED WALKWAYS TO ALL BUTLER BUILDINGS AND IMPLEMENT A PLAN TO DO AWAY WITH THE BUTLER BUILDINGS SHOULD BE LPSS' PRIORITY. LPSS needs to remember their job is to protect our children, which they are not doing a very good job of!!! - TouchetMomOf3 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 10:17:25 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/4916#comment-2804 I have a suggestion: QUIT USING "BUTLER" BUILDINGS !!!! Esp. when you have to REPLACE those buildings that have been at a school so long, they're unuseable anymore. Case in point: COMEAUX HIGH SCHOOL. Instead of building a new wing, the school board just adds more butler buildings and replaces them when they fall apart. Its disgusting and its not taking care of the students and its irresonsible. These so called meetings for input sound like smoke and mirrors to me. Add wings instead of temporary buildings. Keep up maintenance at the schools: like L.J. Alleman. When I had a little friend tell me the air conditioner at Alleman was out and some of the ceiling tiles were out and not replaced, I was appalled! Don't act as though you care, cause if you do, then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT ! Not even the best teachers can get students to improve if the kids feel as if the school board doesn't care about them and that's what a lot of children believe. Its hard to be enthusiastic if you feel as if no one cares if you learn or not. AND FOR GOD'S SAKE, IF YOU HAVE TO HAVE KIDS IN TEMP. BLDGS, AT LEAST HAVE COVERED WALK WAYS TO PROTECT THEM FROM THE WEATHER ! Example: YOUNGSVILLE 5 YEARS PEOPLE ! Over 5 yrs to put walk ways to protect children from inclement weather. Five years is way too long to have those temp. bldgs. there. - Myrick6 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 18:37:15 +0100
