Maint concerns are being addressed now. Restrooms are simply not acceptable and should have been fixed years ago. Hopefully we can address this type of issue in future by empowering our custodians to report issues directly to maint dept. Changing their reporting structure should help.

this was the meeting Ed initiated in an effort to address the concerns from that meeting. The main problem with this school is no one has addressed the capacity issue. We have over a thousand kids in school. Over half the kids are in poftables and core capacity was not increased. There are other schools in similar situation. You simply cannot add portable after portable and handle the issues associated with increased enrollment. We are proceeding with work to address maint issues and I believe Ed has a handle on what we need to do.

Just an fyi,
As you know the community met with Dan Micciche, Ed Levine, Paul Gonzalez and others for a little under two hours. The highlights from the meeting are as follows:
1. The community is unsatisfied with the fact bond work will not be
able to start until March 2013 at the earliest, and minor repairs with bond funding is discouraged. There will likely be no bond work at Truett this summer due to delays in the past. 2. The scope of work for bond is inadequate and does not address overcrowd ing problem. J. Mr. Micciche wanted to know the districfs master plan to address the conditions at Truett, He was visibly and audibly disturbed by what he had witnessed. He wants the portable restroom addressed immediately, as there has been no work done since the issue was originally brought to the forefront. 4. Deno Harris and Ed Levine will be visiting the school this
5.
morning @ 9AM. Ms. Childress and Mr. Micciche raised the question about the possibility of transporting students to underutilized campuses for a few years until a relief school is built or until Truett can get the attention it deserves.
