TORONTO – Parents say two Toronto schools are overcrowded and the governing Liberals are stalling projects that would make more room.
    
They say Swansea and Keele public schools are up over 30 per cent capacity, with kids crammed into portables with inadequate access to washrooms and gyms.
   
They say the Toronto District School Board approved school additions, but they’re in jeopardy because the government put a hold on capital projects.
    
Robin Pilkey of the Swansea parent council says she fears the projects won’t be completed in time for the roll-out of full-day kindergarten for four- and five-year-olds.
    
She says she expects the schools to be unsafe, overcrowded, unsanitary and no place for children to learn.
    
The government has frozen new capital money to the school board until it can show that there won’t be any cost overruns of new projects.
    
The board, which has a budget shortfall, has rejected a plan that would have seen certain parcels of playgrounds sold off in order to finance capital repairs.
