[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Janney possesses heaters but has not found a safe way to plug them in. [/quote]

They ordered heaters without having a plan of how to power them?  :shock: [/quote]

I'm not sure who "they" is - but perhaps the PTA ordered them without fully thinking it through, operationally.

Or, maybe the electrical is supposed to be able to handle them, but in fact can't.[/quote]

I hope it's the latter, but even that would be embarrassing. Everyone knows that electric heating draws a lot of power. They should have checked the amperage before spending money on such a purchase.[/quote]

They were definitely paid for out of PTA funds, so it isn’t really a problem for anyone except the Janney families who give to the PTA if the money was wasted. But hopefully they’ll find a way to make them work at some point soon. [/quote]

No, they were not. DCPS provided the heaters.[/quote]

Huh, that's interesting and surprising news -- I was certain this was another example of Janney buying something nice for ourselves that the rest of the city couldn't get. Of course, the unfortunate part is that... they don't work. But that's why I made sure my kids wore their jackets to school today.[/quote]

Ludlow-Taylor also has DCPS supplied heaters, but DCPS didn’t supply generators and the school can’t handle the power load even if it were logistically feasible to plug them in. We have yet to have lunch outside despite tons of space. I understand the weather now is very challenging, but there’s really no excuse for pre-break when it was rarely intemperate.[/quote]

I would be real mad about that as an LT parent. You have a ton of outdoor space. [/quote]

I would be too. It’s great outdoor space as well. [/quote]
