A Message to the BOE

Tonight the following letter will be presented to the Westport Board of Education during their meeting at Staples High School. It calls for immediate action to be taken at the school as an outcome of the MRC recommendations. Some actions include:

  • retaining the outside consultant who has led the analysis to date and supervised the removal of the pod
  • remediation of the remaining 2 mold infected pods
  • monitoring of CO2 levels across the classrooms
  • publication of the findings to date including tests and photographs
  • review of health issues since the school reopened
  • updating of processes that let this situation happen

The letter is signed by over 50 parents representing roughly 15% of the King's Highway Elementary School population.

If you would like to add your name to the list, please email us at amdconsult@yahoo.com.

I was so impressed with the eloquence and passion of the speakers last night. The BOE made everyone wait until the wee hours of today to speak (with a lot of huffing and puffing on the part of the rule freaks), refused to take responsibility for its actions and inactions, spoke down to parents, and revealed a series of Keystone Kop errors that would be comical if they weren't so tragic.

Thank you on behalf of the parents who couldn't be there. I watched on Channel 79--until the sound went out after 2 a.m. Coincidence? Or comical/tragic error?
