My name is Kate Thomas, and I resigned in 2010 from Los Alamos Public Schools as Assistant Superintendent. Since then I have worked closely in different situations related to the schools. I have been involved in education for 42 years, either as a teacher or an administrator. I am writing this letter to strongly urge Los Alamos voters to vote “Yes” to continue the funding of school renovation in our school district.
Learning is a complex activity, which supremely tests students’ motivation and physical condition. Teaching resources, skills, and curriculum all play a vital role in a child’s education. But what about the physical condition and design of the actual school facility itself? How do they shape a child’s learning experience?
During the school day, teachers and students struggle with such things as noise, glare, mildew, lack of fresh air, hot or cold temperatures, limits on their technology, and allergens. Parents don’t usually have the opportunity to observe these situations as they are working and not in our schools during the day.
