Good God no. We hauled them out after three years of that dreadful experience.
Well I personally found your statement absurd.

Reynolds Secondary teacher asserts right to cross picket lines
By MIKE HAGER, Postmedia News April 9, 2012
...Physics teacher Carl Ratsoy asked for protection from the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association and his colleagues at Saanich’s Reynolds Secondary School after a fiery email, penned by math teacher Matt Grinder, circulated among teachers there last week warning them not to cross any potential picket line...
Grinder’s email, dated April 4 and circulated to dozens of his fellow instructors, explains why he supports the B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s “action plan,” to be presented to 41,000 teachers for a vote April 17 and 18. In it, Grinder asks teachers to support an illegal strike and stay out of school until any fines for the job action are dropped by the government.
Grinder says any teacher who crosses the picket line would have to be a “real sociopath.”
“[Crossing the picket line] is wishing horrific fines on your fellow teachers,” Grinder wrote in the email. “I would keep my children away from you, cause you’re evil. And I’ll shout at you.”

CUPE 382 has issued the following press release:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 2, 2017
Eliminating custodial positions bad for schools, bad for kids
At a recent presentation to CUPE 382 members, Greater Victoria School District Director of
Facilities, David Loveridge, introduced the elimination of a majority of "non-cleaning time" for
daytime custodians in all schools. This change will result in the elimination of 16 full-time
custodial positions with the cost savings used to hire trades personnel. Custodians already
have workload issues. This flawed plan has the potential to create unsafe schools as
cleanliness is paramount to student and staff health and well-being. With a projected increase
of up to 2000 students in the coming decade, this move seems counter-intuitive. In addition,
the Board of Education has recently hired five additional administrative positions that do not
work directly with students. How can the employer justify the elimination of front line custodial
positions, while at the same time increasing middle management? This decision makes no
sense.
For further information contact Fred Schmidt, CUPE 382 President, Jane Massy CUPE 947
President, or Jason Gammon, GVTA President

Perhaps they could take a page out of the Japanese schoolbook, and ask the kids to clean up their own school on a rotating basis - they made the mess, after all...

Because eliminating cleaning staff has worked out so well for the hospitals...

It's 16 positions. Probably out of 125-150 or more. 40+ schools. There may be some merit to it if we saw the entire report.
