TomDaniels, You should forward those inspection reports (and post them!) I would not be surprised by any of it. I'm appalled by the condition of the schools (every one I go into). I see duct tape covering electrical sockets, sharpie writing "do not touch", paint peeling, water stained ceiling panels, graffiti carved into plexiglass windows that you cannot see through, dark and dreary hallways (just walk into winman and down the hall toward nurse, you can barely see its so dark) , bathroom tiles crumpling, pipes bursting in brand new computer rooms, freezing cold and sweltering classrooms (on the same day!), no warm water to wash hands, rust stained sinks, traffic patterns forcing young children to cross in front of buses (despite many desperate pleas by parents to school administration and school committee chair), it goes on and on...while I agree the City was remiss in not funding improvements in 2006, I believe the condition of facilities is not just a result of the past seven years but of decades of neglect. An unbiased analysis of systemwide issues and costs of renovation vs. new construction should be performed before wasting anymore time/money or disrupting students/teachers for minimal improvements.
