NORTHAMPTON DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL
The minister would be aware that the 17-year-old air conditioning system at the Northampton District High School needs to be upgraded. However, for this to happen, the power supply also needs to be upgraded, which is a cost impost that the school simply cannot afford. (1) Will the minister agree to fund the power upgrade for the Northampton District High School? (2) If so, when will the funds be allocated? (3) If not, can the minister justify this decision, given the extreme temperatures reached in Northampton and the fact that the current system is defective and interruptive to classes? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH
