[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a list of schools with particularly bad facilities problems?[/quote]

This is the list of key facilities indicators at each school building:

There’s no way this is accurate. My school has many classrooms without functioning lights or AC and we often have air quality issues due to sewage issues yet we are all green on this website:[/quote]

Yeah...I have a suspicion that the group asked to do the KFI assessments didn't spend so much time in the facilities, themselves, monitoring/testing/etc., but relied a good deal on principals to let them know what was of concern as the basis/starting point for their examinations.

Some principals, seeing how this would work (knowing differential funding would flow to lower-rated facilities), could have delivered a laundry list expressed with deep concern to elicit a red or yellow where a yellow or green might really be the case.  Others, wanting to toe an MCPS financial line or to avoid drawing difficult-to-handle community concern, could have downplayed their building's issues, mentioning only that which was obvious and eliciting a yellow or green where a red or yellow mught really be the case.

All we really can tell is that the KFIs aren't always properly representative of true conditions, and that there are many facilities needing better maintenance, repairs, upgrades, expansion or wholesale replacement.[/quote]
