By Matthew McCully – Space issues at Farnham Elementary School came up several times during Tuesday evening’s Eastern Townships School Board (ETSB) Council of Commissioners meeting. Following the end-of-meeting question period when Appalachian Teachers’ Association President Megan Seline pointed out specific examples of the space constraints, ETSB Chairman proposed a resolution in favour of pursuing the expansion and upgrade of Farnham Elementary, to be equivalent to neighbouring French schools with similar student populations. “The kindergarten room doubles as a calm/reset room, the gym is used for chronological awareness during phys-ed classes, early intervention and speech therapy is being done on hallway benches, the stage, or in the kitchen; an autistic student must use the principal’s office when he/she needs ‘time’,” Seline said.
