04/24/04 - Bryan Finkel: "Let's talk about finding a safe place for our kids and not putting them into a toxic dump like these modulars"


Teachers Should Get Ready To Return To The Contaminated Modular Classrooms

Quote:


"So you guys can stay at the modular and do your thing," Hamilton Avenue School parent Mina Bibeault said.

Headline:

Parents opposed to sending students back into the modular classrooms tell Greenwich Board Of Education that students should switch buildings with incompetent town employees at Town Hall and with the high paid school administration failures at the Havemeyer Building.

Story:

Frustrations bubbled up at last night's meeting with Glenville School parents as Board of Education officials outlined two possible relocation options for students.

One possibility was to remediate the mold at the Hamilton Avenue School modular building so that it could be reused for Glenville School students. But that option appeared to grate on some parents....

....The second option, which would be to rip up parts of the Western Greenwich Civic Center property to create a place for trailers, parking spaces and bus drop-off and pick-up zones, also met with skepticism. One problem is that the plans would turn a playing field into a drainage basin for the new paved areas, consultants said.

"The field does get compromised in this plan," said Rob Brunetti, a construction consultant...

...the school district is facing timing issues, with no room for any delays for school to start on time.

"There's a lot of risk in this plan," said Brunetti, adding that in the most optimistic case, the civic center would be ready for Aug. 20.

In the case of remediating the modular, the school district's experts outlined a plan that would have the project take at least four months, including six weeks to develop detailed plans and put them out to bid.

A Very Brave Fourth-Grade Glenville School Student Jackie Steinman Got Up And Made A Fine Appearance As She Spoke Out Against Greenwich School Officials.

"I think we should have a voice in this decision," proclaimed the admirable Jackie Steinman.

They should put this brave little fourth grade girl on the Board Of Education's New Advisory Committee On Facilities.

Courageous Jackie Steinman doesn't want her and her school mates to be put in contaminated modular classrooms, nor does she want her school split up all over town.

Fearless Jackie Steinman probably doesn't want to see Glenville School children suffer from headaches, prolonged sinus infections in the contaminated temporary modular classrooms.

Surely, the daring Jackie Stienman doesn't want to see her Glenville School teachers complaining of about headaches, nausea, and respiratory problems.

If Gutsy Jackie Steinman was on the Board Of Education's New Advisory Committee On Facilities, she just might be fearless enough to ask school officials...
