[quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm not sure what you're referring to regarding health issues. Our biggest issue with deferred renovation is the lack of walls between classrooms, but if you see the classes in session, the teachers (and credit to the kids too) do a good job at keeping a nice environment. While some of the classrooms are less pleasant (little to no natural light), it doesn't seem unclean / unhealthy to me.

The teachers do an amazing job at the school as do the active members of the PSCO. The majority of the school (outside of the PK4 suite) is carpeted. There was a pest infestations this past year that might be curbed by now. The PK3 suite did flood regularly so that is a mold issue there. Fortunately the roof was redone last year so those leaks seem to have subsided (the interior space has skylights) but there is still lingering mold from the previous leaks. The classrooms that have no natural light are the kindergarten and first grade classrooms. The bathrooms may or may not have supplies on a regular basis. These are just a few of the issues I have noted.

No doubt this school has a lot of potential with the right leadership model on board. In addition to the outdoor space it also has a gym which a lot of schools do not have. The school needs stability and some TLC. Giving prospective families both the pros and cons of the school will keep them invested in making the necessary changes to move the school forward. [/quote]
