Snakes close Watooka Day School

Jan 25, 2015 News

Another school has been closed by its Parent/Teacher Association. This time it is due to snakes occupying the building.
According to President of the Watooka Day Primary School PTA, Floyd Allen, when the matter was brought to his attention by concerned parents he called an emergency meeting on Wednesday.
The executive and other members of the PTA decided to approach the Department of Education for assistance to clean the compound. “We (PTA) have money but not to clean the compound it is to do other things, so a decision was made to keep the children home until the compound is cleaned and snake free”
Allen also noted that the school was closed since Thursday and the Department of Education Region Ten has promised to have the compound cleaned and school ready for classes on Monday.
However, Allen claimed, “If the Department of Education does not stand to their word then the PTA Executive and the body will hold strong on their decision to shut the school down until it is cleaned.”
Efforts to contact the Education Department proved futile.
