From the BCCT.
How early in the morning is this testing on Monday? Before or after the students arrive?
What was wrong with testing on Saturday or Sunday so that if a cancellation of classes on Monday was needed, there was time to fix the problem to allow for Monday classes or to effectively plan a shutdown.
Oops. Sorry. I used that word again...PLAN!
Students to return to school after inspection
An air quality inspection will be conducted early Monday morning to look for any harmful air particles before allowing students to re-enter M.R. Reiter Elementary School on Monday.
The school was closed for a day and a half after a faulty fuel pump in an old boiler caused oily fumes throughout the building.
While there was no danger to students or staff, the odor was very unpleasant, said Superintendent Elizabeth Yonson. She ordered the school to be evacuated Wednesday afternoon when the odor first started. Despite a temporary fix, school was closed early Thursday when the odor reappeared.
It remained closed Friday while a new fuel pump was installed and the building was aired out, said Tim Lastichen, the district’s director of facilities.
“The inspection is an extra precaution to let the teachers and parents know we’re doing all we can,” he said.
School board members are waiting for engineering and architectural firm Vitetta to deliver a detailed engineering report about needed renovations in the district’s two elementary schools.
