[quote=Anonymous][quote]I have worked in FCPS and been a parent in FCPS. It's disgusting. The cleaning people don't do anything that actually involves making things clean, and the schools are renovated and upgraded so infrequently that some of them closely resemble - and smell like - a prison. When I moved my son to private, the first thing that completely shocked me was how clean the school was. It didn't smell, the floors were gleaming and new, the walls were freshly painted, the whole school was just beautiful. It made me so sad to think that basic cleanliness, and an environment that isn't out and out depressing is something you have to pay for.

"Clean" can go a very long way to keeping a school fresh.

When we went to DH's high school reunion, we got a tour of the school.  It is a very, very old building--built in the 1930's by WPA.  The school was immaculate.  DH's classmates thought it was better than when they were there.  Of course, floors had been redone, etc.,paint, etc.  But, it was well maintained.  (It didn't hurt that it was a lovely building to start with-.

A brand new school doesn't look good for long if it is not kept clean.
