School district officials are attempting to retrieve the supplies Glenview elementary school parents rescued from a dumpster this week, saying they can be used at other schools around Prince George.
"We would be happy to pick up the supplies and yes, we do have a use for the supplies," superintendent Brian Pepper said in an e-mail response to questions from the Citizen.
The parents, who've asked that their names not be used, are taking a cautious approach, however, saying they want assurances the items won't end up in a landfill before handing them over and an explanation for what happened.
"I don't want to see the guy fired but I think he needs to own up to what he did," said one of the parents about school principal Tim Yule, who was caught throwing unused paint brushes, bottles of non-toxic paint and stacks of paper into the school's dumpster Tuesday morning.
