CSDL needs to respect their agreement

The CSDL needs to respect its agreement with the CPE Fleurs de Lune

In February 2010, experts condemn the building where the CPE Fleurs de Lune was housed; located at the corner of boul. Ste-Rose and 1st Avenue, due to structural weaknesses. For the safety of the children, they renovated (at their own cost) and moved into Pavillon A of the elementary school Fleur-de Vie that had been abandoned by the Laval school board (CSDL) years earlier.  A few months later, the CPE is made aware by a reporter (and not by the CSDL) that the CSDL intends to repossess the building having misjudged their need for classrooms. Reluctantly, the CPE agreed to move to another abandoned school with the verbal promise from the CSDL that they would be allowed to stay there until the repairs are completed to their original building, this being no later than June 2012.

Yet again, the CSDL wants to go back on their word and repossess the building, having misjudged their need for classrooms for a second time in less than a year. On March 16^th 2011, la CSDL voted to take back the building that they were renting to the CPE because they would need it for about a year, the time it takes them to build a new school, and this after spending money on renovation to allow cohabitation. The plans were looked over by the architects from the Minsitère de la Famille et des AÎnés and from the CSDL.

We are asking for your support so that the CSDL respects its agreement which was a cohabitation between CPE Fleurs de Lune  and école Étincelle for the school year of 2011-2012. Respecting this agreement would avoid a third move for 57 children in less than a year and a half.

I support the members of the board of directors  and the entire personnel of the “centre de la petite enfance Fleurs de Lune” and ask that the “Commission Scolaire de Laval” respects its agreement which was a cohabitation between CPE Fleurs de Lune  and école Étincelle for the school year of 2011-2012.
