Enis Adams Primary half-finished! Awaiting Gov't's involvement - Hon Turnbull
Mr Haycraft injected $2 million into the steel-framed two-storey building that is able to withstand hurricanes just about two years after the 2017 hurricanes destroyed the school.
According to Hon Turnbull, Government was expected to play its part in completing the science lab, the library, the playground and parking area.
He said the areas mentioned above “were not in the scope of the donor’s permit. The Ministry of Education was supposed to finish this. I am saying this on the record so they can do something about it.”
Half-furniture
Honourable Turnbull also said the school has not yet received the full complement of furniture and that the use of some of the old ones are causing damages to the floor.
“They have the desks, but they still have the old chairs, old chairs on a polished floor and if you go into some of the classrooms you will see all the paint and polish is already off,” he remarked on Tuesday, February 4, 2020, during a community meeting held at the school’s compound.
Furthermore, Hon Turnbull said at that rate, if the school is not maintained, in the next few years it would require renovation.
He concluded: “So we have a lovely looking school the playground, the yard, the parking, the accessibility for our children, it is not complete.”
Haycraft cares
Last September, during the handing over, Premier Honourable Andrew A. Fahie (R1) said the donation of the educational facility was a testament that Mr Haycraft cares about the Territory.
“Mr Haycraft, Irma has shown us that you really care, because there are a lot of persons who have benefitted from these Virgin Islands but when you called on them after Irma, they disappeared. But, rather than disappearing, Mr Haycraft came forward with his family, with his team and he made a contribution.”
