PMR School Tour .Beck and Love urged the Sask Party government to pay attention to the concerns of all parents and start addressing the “issues that matter most.”.“There’s a gaping hole in the roof of this school and the premier has called an emergency debate over what kids call each other on the playground,” said Beck. .“Our schools are literally crumbling before our eyes and parents are rightly concerned that the government doesn’t care about the issues that matter most.”.On June 6, parents and school leaders gave a tour to Saskatoon MLAs, which included members from the Sask Party, Gordon Wyant and Marv Friesen. During the tour, school officials showed them the large hole in the roof and the overcrowded spaces where students must study due to water damage. .In September, concerned parents gathered about 200 signatures and submitted the petition to the Sask Party government. They once again asked the government to repair the hole in the school's roof, as no action had been taken for several months..The Sask Party government did not repair the roof over the summer and the building experienced a flood last week..On October 6, the school had to cancel classes. When the school reopened, two classrooms and the library were found to be in such bad condition they could not be used, causing even more disruptions to the students education..The Sask Party government stated it created its pronoun policy in nine days after receiving 18 letters. However, only seven of these letters were from individuals who identified themselves as parents..“It’s not fair for the Sask Party to pick and choose who to listen to. The government has a duty to listen to all parents,” said Love. .“As a teacher, I know from experience that our kids do best when all parents are involved and respected.”
