Ms. Charlotte Pearl Smith

NSW education minister John Della Bosca indicated on January 21, 2008 that the department intended to continue using the heaters at the school, prompting P&C president Charlotte Smith to tell the Gazette the campaign will be taken to a new level.
...
"Until people start fighting, they (DET) can't be bothered doing anything," Ms Smith said.

"We don't want to be a problem group - we are highlighting an important health issue, particularly for our region's schools, but we keep getting fobbed off.The school is right behind this, 120 parents signed our petition, we have support from parents of other public schools and all of them are voters.

"We want the politicians to listen and we intend to deliver our message to national radio and television programs."

Ms Smith said the P&C wants a two-year trial of either flued or hydroponic heaters at the school, but the DET insists the school must find its own money for that.

The NSW Education Minister's January 21 letter to the P&C indicates work could be done to install fixed ventilation works "to ensure adequate ventilation and thermal comfort can be achieved" when the unflued heaters are in use.

Another letter, from Member for Blue Mountains Phil Koperberg, applaudes the P&C's dedication, but says a DET investigation into heating options for NSW schools must be completed before he will speak with the Education Minister about the issue.
...
Ms Smith said a Statewide investigation of heating options is "a way of looking like you are doing something when you're not".
