Bob, you and I know the real reason why the schools are in such bad shape, it was the years of removing money from the maintenance department to other departments that had a short fall in their budget or someone wanted something. The former director not being as strong as the rest of the administration to stop it. It was the "Dooley Math" we all heard about, the years of across the board bad decisions by School Committee's to give pay increases to all staff, make up positions for people, out right lies by the Union and Administration. Tell you what why doesn't someone go to the city and pull the building inspection reports, I have and I was enraged at what I read buildings with no running water in the bathrooms, exposed electric wiring, gapping holes with water leaking from the roof into the paper storage room, rooms divided by walls with no permit pulled, no fire rated doors on boiler rooms, closers not working (when we have them sitting on Draper Ave but no man power to put them in). We closed Greene in order to move Admin staff out of a building that the insurance company stated they would not pay for "sick build" syndrome but yet allow kids in buildings that are ten times worst than the main Admin. Why are we looking to close schools? When we hire Admin to fill positions that didn't even exisit last year. Any way they are going to do what they want they always have and will.
