A Board of Education employee in Greenwich, Connecticut was fired for allegedly taking "kick-backs" on the Hamilton Ave school project. It is alleged that Tony Burns, the former Facility Director for the BOE, received payments from ...
History
In 2005, the elementary school closed its doors after it was discovered that the long-standing building had mold and structural problems.
What was supposed to be an 18-month project lasted four years and cost the taxpayers of Greenwich more than $31 millions.
The school, which houses 317 children, was forced to relocate its students to modulars that were located at Western Middle School.
In 2008, the modulars were forced to shut down after it was discovered that they too had a mold problem.
In 2009, Worth Construction Co. sued the town of Greenwich for almost $6 million for damages and losses they incurred because of numerous delays caused by the school’s building committee and other handlers of the projects, including Tony Burns.
Also in 2009, a group of Hamilton Avenue School parents sued the town saying the school failed to address “persistent” and “pervasive” mold problems at the modular facility......

Greenwich Public Schools Facility Director Tony Burns was escorted from his job at the Board Of Education last week by security because he is under investigation for receiving kickbacks on the modular project and the Hamilton Avenue School building project.
So far the official BOE spin for his firing is that he falsified time sheets.
That's Why Western Middle School Parents Are Crazy, If They Trust The BOE With The Situation At Western Middle School.
Who Knows Maybe Tony Byrne Was Taking Kick Backs From Charles Schwartz, who the Hamilton Avenue School parents proved was no longer licensed, nor is his company Environmental Assessments & Solutions, Inc. registered with any reputable Environmental Agency or Group.
Anything Is Possible At The Fraud Plauged Greenwich BOE.
Why Do BOE Administrators Keep On Insisting On Using Charles "I Didn't Need A Stinking License" Schwartz?

Colin "BOE Brown Nose" Gustafson Writes ....
By Colin "BOE BROWN NOSE" Gustafson
Superintendent of Schools Sidney Freund believes his success as the town's latest education leader depends heavily on the success of his teachers and how effectively his administration supports them.
That's why some of his first moves since taking over as the superintendent have included holding off on introducing new initiatives that might add to the burden on educators and expanding the use of so-called "data teams" to set priorities from the ground up, he said.....
The Public Schools Don't Need Any Freaking "DATA TEAMS".
They Need Empowered Parental Investigative Teams Who Will Put And End To The Fraud Waste And Abuse That Is Bankrupting The Single Family Homeowners Of Greenwich.
Every BOE Cover Up Wastes Valuable Tax Dollars That Are Supposed To Go To Greenwich School Children.
MORE INFORMATION:
The Greenwich Time Editors do not have the journalistic balls to ask why a copy of the test results and the letter from the so-called environmental consultant Charles Schwartz is not posted on the Greenwich Public Schools website for all to see.
Why hasn't Steven B. Anderson, Board of Education Chairman or Dr. Sidney A. Freund, Superintendent of Schools issued a press release about the mold and the leaking steam pipe that some Western Middle School parents say is wraped in asbestos.
The Greenwich Board Of Education Has Downplayed And Lied To Parents About Mold In The Past. Can Parents really Be Expected To Trust Thier Childrens Health To The Same Old Cast Of Characters Who Tried To Cover Up Serious Mold Infestations In The Hamilton Avenue School And The Modular Classrooms.
For FIVE Days This Is All That Western Middle School Parents Have Been Told .....
January 21, 2010
Dear WMS Parents,
I am writing to inform you about some facilities work that will occur at Western this weekend.
A steam pipe leak in the crawlspace below the art storage room was reported. There was excessive humidity and condensation in the closet, presumably due to the steam leak.
An environmental investigation of the adjoining art rooms and storage closet was conducted by Charles Schwartz representing Environmental Assessments & Solutions, Inc.
The report noted, "no mold like staining, odor, or irritation were experienced in the adjoining rooms including the Kiln Room, E2 classroom, E6 classroom, or the E4 computer classroom.
Based upon our observations we conducted bioaerosol (mold in air) and asbestos air testing in the concern storage room and all adjoining rooms and halls with rapid turn-around. Asbestos air samples with TEM analysis identified no asbestos in air in any of the sample locations." Mr. Schwartz did note "visible mold like staining on thewindow, exterior wall and wood cabinets in the storage room.
"There was no musty odor nor did the investigator experience irritation symptoms while in the storage room."
Please note this is a locked storage room that students do not access. Based on this information, a mold remediation contractor was immediately employed to conduct interim control measures directed on-site by the investigator including the following actions:
1. The E2 storage room was placed under negative pressure with a HEPA filtered negative air machine, then the room was locked and sealed.
2. The Kiln Room was surface cleaned using HEPA vacuums and biocidal single use rags. Following these interim control measures retesting for bioaerosols was conducted and the results confirmed no asbestos in the air in any of the sample locations."
As you know from our summer facility projects, the Connecticut State Department of Health requires that all abatement projects, including this one, must be done when no childrenunder the age of eighteen are in the building.
The leak repair work and required abatement of the E2 storage room will be conducted this weekend.
Thus, all afterschool activities and the late bus on Friday, January 22nd, will be canceled.
Although we understand this is an issue of concern, we are pleased with the rapid response of the district and our team of consultants.
We are relieved that this report confirms that at no time was the health of students or staff in danger.
A copy of the testing results letter from the environmental consultant is available upon request.
Please feel free to contact me with any concerns or questions.
Sincerely, Stacey Gross, Ed.D.
