Thousands of nursery, primary and secondary school children returned to the classroom on Tuesday for the start of the Hilary term. Students of Ellerslie Secondary School were not among them as incomplete repairs forced the continued closure of that institution for the remainder of this week.Pupils and teachers of the Lawrence T Gay Memorial School which has been plagued with environmental issues were however back in the classroom, starting the new term the way they ended last term, with some classes relocated to Grace Hill Moravian Church, The Church of Christ the King, at Rock Dundo, St Michael and Sharon Moravian Church, St Thomas. The relocation of classes took place as a result of a reported offensive odour.Principal of the Spooner’s Hill, St Michael school, Brent Blackett, told members of the media just after 9 a.m. that the buses to transport the students and teachers to the various churches arrived in a timely manner and made multiple trips to take students to their classes.�
The back and forth, uncertainty and frustration that students, teachers, ancillary staff and parents have been experiencing due to the ongoing saga at Lawrence T. Gay Memorial School have to come to an end.Over the years, students and teachers have complained of a pungent, gaseous smell that was causing them headaches, burning throat sensations, burning eyes and/or itchy skin.The school problems go back years. In recent times, the school was closed in 2019. Then in January 2020, just before the March outbreak of COVID-19, the students were relocated to various churches where classes were conducted.The ministry has to make a serious decision about the future if the physical plant continues to be plagued by a foul odour. Notwithstanding the numerous tests and cleanings conducted on the premises, the odour continues to affect the school.
