The Daily Item: Lynn schools awash in building woes
We got problems, no doubt. They are a lot worse than this story would lead you to believe. First there is the "asbestos" problem that was and maybe still is being investigated about LPS contacting with an unlicensed contractor. I haven't heard of any final resolution. Don't forget the LSC last year approved, I think, over $100,000 to "repair" Sisson's two portables.
At the last LSC meeting I listened to ISD Czar MICHEAL DONOVAN testify before the committee that we got new laws or policies dealing with treatment of LEAD in the schools and WE HAVE IT in all but ONE of our schools. This information came to light on the same day JAY HARRISON of THE FOOD PROJECT agreed to test for LEAD in the vegetables in INGALLS garden to insure the produce was CONTAMINATION FREE after soil tests revealed the presence of LEAD in the soil.
Despite all these problems, we have OVERCROWDED CLASSROOMS and over a SCORE of administrators with a SIX-FIGURE salary (the superintendent's alone is over $180,000-more than our Mayor makes)
Yikes! Probably because recycled wood was used. Sometimes sustainability doesn't work for the best intentions.
ReplyDeleteMaybe recycled wood was not used in this garden? But a good warning to take note of when designing the next garden. Soil tests too.
ReplyDeleteYou know what they about they say about roads paved with good intentions!
