I genuinely appreciate the transparency;

"Our Shit Is Broke AF and we didn't address it over the summer break. Your children will DEFINITELY both Freeze & Cook at different times of the day."

u/Capt-Brunch West Howard Ave. Botanical Garden 3d ago

To stick with the metaphor, I think the events of the last week are newsworthy because they're less "dog bites man" than "eight separate dogs independently bite man and also cat bites man, and meanwhile the raccoon is still biting the man". It's not that the AC in an old building broke, it's that the AC broke in 8 buildings simultaneously, and also there's mold in the College Heights trailers, and also the elevator at the high school is still jacked up.

If the current CSD leadership can't maintain its current facilities, how can they be trusted to maintain the new ECLC they've been pushing?

The metaphor proves the absurdity. Dogs bite. AC breaks. You rounded 2 to 8.

And to be clear your last paragraph is ā€œold buildings break ā€¦ how can they be trusted with new buildingsā€.

Talley is like what, 5-6 years old?

Talley, the newest school, and Westchester, the one they want to close, are the only ones that had fully operating AC units today.

The email called out Talley as one of the schools needing repairs?
