In addition to the last letter I published about the alledged handing of ASBESTOS in our school buildings, at the LSC meeting Thursday night, a couple other areas of concern were raised. LSC member Maria Carrasco asked about the annual testing of all our schools for mold given the recent tests for Bioaerosols (mold) at Ford (we were told it was free of contaminants) given the age of our OLD school buildings. She was told that would be cost prohibitive.
When Rick Starbard pointed out that having to spend $100,000 to repair old portables would be like trying to repair a "TOTALED" car, he was told, "We just can't afford new ones.". Good money after bad? Who do you trust? What school does the people's kids giving the answers go to? We deserve answers that are truthful.
Maria should know about the problems after all her campaign manager is Joe Martin, Prez of unions. I wander if he knows she talking? I agree with Rick they are wasting money and most of our schools are totaled. most if not all of the schools have asbestos and has not been handled correctly for years.
ReplyDeleteI hear they are allowing custodians to over see the work of a project manager. maybe this is why our schools are in such bad shape. if we are having custodians/janitors oversee what an engineer or contruction manger should be doing then I believe we may have found our problem. it is cheaper and they can still hide all the mess under the carpets. stanley, you should ask questions to maria carrassco and her union buddies about this and what they are doing to repair the problems. while you are at it, get city hall involved and ask them why no one is watching the ISD employees. talk about a waste or money and resources. just watch one of them for the day.
ReplyDeleteI really don't think the Mayor has been involved in our schools, actually I know she hasn't. She has not done anything productive that the parents or citizens can see. It was a mistake elected a bus driver as a Mayor. Maybe if we ask some of the firefighters, I bet their getting what they want.
