How exciting! In just a couple of weeks the spring musical opens at BMHS. It is always an excellent production. Get your tickets early and bring your umbrellas...just in case the buckets fill up and water overflows. You see, the roof over the auditorium is leaking -- not in one place -- in several places. There are buckets collecting water in the false ceiling above the auditorium. We see this as a "dire need" and so did the superintendent, back in October. But for some reason the only leak addressed when the referendum was being written in December was the leak in the pool.
How can we vote for this referendum when it's is obvious that no facility studies went into the planning and our teachers were completely left out of the process? Our students, before needing a pool or a fitness center, need dry buildings. Our students, our teachers, and our community deserve better than this.
Maybe the superintendent should direct part of that 1.2 million dollars that he was going to use on boilers in the elementary schools over to the high school.
ReplyDeleteThis can not wait. It is a dire need for sure. They will have mold growing in that ceiling soon and some children are allergic to mold.
Music teachers at every level and the theater teacher as well should have been consulted when this thing was being planned. If they have been looking at facilities since 1998, why didn't they talk to these people? From the sound of this, they could have just asked the students what they need and the roof would have been mentioned. This is the type of thing that ruins a building. Mold, rot, etc. Now that it has been brought to their attention, will anything be changed?
