12/10/08 Hamilton Avenue School Update: The Modulars Are Once Again Leaking And Causing Electrical Problems. Has Mold Returned To The HAS Modulars ?

THE MODULARS ARE HAVING WATER AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS

FIRE ALARM HAS BEEN SET OFF DURING THE SCHOOL DAY!!!!

A Greenwich Parent has informed Greenwich Roundup today that there were men at the modular school walking into classrooms and the lunchroom checking out the electrical outlets & looking around.

Moving/storage boxes have been delivered to the school yesterday and today. The parent has also learned that there was a meeting after school today to discuss the pending move to the not up to code HAS.

HOW CAN THEY MOVE SMALL CHILDREN INTO AN

UNFINISHED FILTHY SCHOOL BUILDING?

We Really Have To Get These Hamilton Avenue Kids

Some Very Small Digital Cameras.

Is the Greenwich Board Of Education pushing the Hamilton Avenue Children into the "NEW" building so Glenville can be herded into the modulars until their new Glenville construction project is completed?

These Modulars STILL HAVE ONGOING MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY ISSUES even AFTER MOLD 'REMEDIATION' and 'INSPECTIONS' ?

Why does Hamilton Avenue School Principal Rau turn a blind eye?

YOU WONT READ THIS IN THE GREENWICH TIME:

In OCTOBER children reported to their parents that there were buckets in their classrooms and water dripping from the ceilings. At that same time, there were reports from the children that the boys' bathroom had plumbing problems.

Damaris Rau was approached by parents with these concerns and poo-pooed them...discounting the observations of the students and the concerns of the parents. Even making light of the water issues in the HEADLINES that go home with the children every Friday.

After a heavy rain recently, there were maintenance workers spotted throughout the building as well as on the roof of the modular building. Ceiling panel lights have been reported non-functioning, and weeks later are still not working.

There have been electrical issues which have occurred after periods of rain...even a FIRE ALARM going off DURING THE SCHOOL DAY because of an electrical problem a month or so ago...there was chatter that duct tape was used to make electrical repairs in the water damaged ceiling.

This is madness.

The Hamilton Avenue School Principal is so self absorbed and concerned with her image and her career as an administrator, she has lost perspective. God help the children of Hamilton Avenue School as they are shoved in a school that is not up to code.

Where is Ken West the building maintenance supervisor?

How is this trailer park permitted to stay open?

If this were a private home it would be condemned.
