[quote=Anonymous]I got an email today from Peggy Higgins.

[quote]Dear neighbors -  In case my earlier email attempts were not successful and did not get to the greenbelters yahoo group, I'm resending this)

I am Peggy Higgins and your School Board representative. I understand that there have been some questions regarding Roosevelt's lockers.

I too am disappointed about the failure to get the lockers properly replaced over the summer. I also have some background information to share that may be helpful.

Of course the plan had always been to replace the lockers over the summer when the students are not in school. In anticipation of the new lockers, Roosevelt's 2,700 old lockers were removed and the area for the new lockers prepared.

Then it was learned that because of a manufacturer delay, the lockers would not arrive until after school started. Principal McNeil and his staff adapted and moved quickly on this situation. By this Monday, the first day of school, they had arranged for students to receive their books incrementally over the week so that the locker problem to the educational inpact would be minimal.

By this past Tuesday, the second day of school, the lockers had arrived. Installation began that night and is scheduled to be completed by the end of the weekend.

In order to prevent a repeat of this problem, the situation is being evaluated by Dr. Maxwell and his staff to identify the problems that occurred with this project.

That said, I would like to commend Principal McNeil and his staff for their solution-focused approach and adaptation to the situation right as school was opening.

I hope this information is helpful and if I can be of any further help, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Regards

Peggy Higgins
