Upset parents plan protest

Parents of Milton Lynch Primary students plan to protest today against what they describe as the deplorable conditions at the school.

They made this decision yesterday evening at the Water Street, Christ Church school, saying they were frustrated that the health and safety of students and teachers were not being taken seriously. They said they were dissatisfied with some industrial cleaning done over the weekend.

A fiery Katelyn Bourne told the DAILY NATION: “My son was home for four days and then I had to carry him to more than one doctor.

“The bathrooms smell terrible, the hallways are atrocious. There are hardly any toilet bowl covers; the smell alone is making the children sick. And If I was to leave my child at home I would get the Child Care Board call on me. But this is nowhere to send [a] child,” Bourne complained. (TG)
