c economfct sun stoufiville tribune saturday july 31 1999 5 education mould problems forced closure of our lady of grace in aurora separate board considers new school building by patrick casey staff writer york regions catholic school board will lobby the provin cial government for funds to finance construction of a new elementary school in aurora if the costs of repairing the con demned facility continue to skyrocket the doors at our lady of grace school have been locked since may 14 after the regions health department ordered the building closed following the discovery of 10 strains of toxic mould despite the fact a recent community survey revealed 85 per cent of parents polled want a completely new school the board began the lengthy process of rebuilding the school last month beginning with the removal of the interior and exteri or drywall panels plus all of the brick encasing the building however separate board chairperson elizabeth crowe said their approach may change if estimates from various contrac tors begin to exceed the 17million remediation price tag from the project architect it would cost about 35 million to erect a new school added crowe since the cinder block core structure surround ing the gymnasium is salvageable from the 13yearold facili ty with our current estimates we are still going ahead with the remediation crowe said but if it starts to be close to the cost of a new school we can petition the government that it is derelict we have always compared the costs of the remediation versus a hew school and we have always considered the pos sibility of tearing down the school and rebuilding around the gymnasium core i can sympathize with the parents because i am not in the school and i dont have my kids in the school in september staff and students from our lady of grace will occupy the former oak ridges public school they spent the final six weeks of school at seneca college in king city but garriock hall is not available this fall talk of a new olg school is welcome news to school coun cil chairperson charmaine barker this is a very different message from the school board than the one we have been receiving for the past two months funding is still a big issue but this is an absolute turnaround barker said i would think that if the remediation costs go past 2 mil lion you build a new school around the gym there is nothing wrong with the gym because it was built asa permanent struc ture job tfa 4oo t oppiyttkhity to ausley chocolates second times a charm awg home improvements wild butterfly music personal computer technicians
