In this podcast, FPSS-CSQ President Éric Pronovost and Vice-President of Labour Relations and Professional Life Dominic Latouche discuss issues related to school renovations, in a context marked by aging buildings and significant cost increases. With more than half of schools in a worrying state, they question the systematic use of subcontracting, which often contributes to higher expenses and more complex interventions.

The podcast highlight a clear reality: school support staff already possess the necessary expertise to meet many needs on the ground. By valuing internal teams, developing their skills, and simplifying work organization, it is possible to improve the effectiveness of interventions while controlling costs.

Through concrete examples, the speakers demonstrate that an approach centered on internal resources not only allows for more proactive building maintenance but also strengthens the sense of belonging and the quality of learning environments.
