The city, specifically ISD, has not removed all the snow at all the schools. Classical had an emergency evacuation yesterday due to there being smoke coming from a vent. The snow was not removed from all the exits, so the kids were forced to seek alternate exit routes to the point that many had to turn around and re-enter the building to find another exit. Thankfully, the smoke was due to a motor in a vent and not a more serious incident like a fire, or worse. I sent an email to Mike Donovan, but did not receive a response, which of course is unacceptable. I also sent emails to the scho committee, Mayor, superintendent, Dan Cahill, Terry Young, the executive assistant for the city council. Rick and Donna were the only ones to respond and Terry responded to tell me Councilor Ford was going to notify Andrew Hall of the DPW. I am sure he would be wasting his time with that since ISD is the responsible party. I will be checking tomorrow to make sure all exits have been properly cleared, even if I have to go check myself. The lack of response by city and school officials, especially regarding such a serious issue, is astounding!
