From Muir Elementary (second time this year that coolant has leaked into the cafeteria this year):
For at least the second time this year near RESMS, needles on the ground:

Look out
One parent's thoughts:
"This happened to my child. That is his class that was exposed to a massive amount of coolant. At this point, none of the parents have received any notification of this event, and any long or short-term health impacts that it may have on our children."
Another parent:
"My stepfather is a Health Physicist and has written most of the hazard manuals for Handford over the last 16 years... when I sent him this he wasn’t panicked but he was concerned - he asked three things:
1) were the children immediately removed and checked for contact reactions and were their shoes/clothing removed and cleaned properly
2) how will they be cleaning the school and assuring it’s been checked by district Haz team
3)what communication will the parents get. (They are required to be notified by law of any known exposure)
I know the answer to the first one. No, the children were not removed and no one initiated a contact reaction check.
I’m guessing parents were not sent a communication about the shoes or clothing either.
And the latter two ...Great questions!
Who is responsible for notifying parents of clean up process followed?
Did they notify all parents of the exposure and send the exposure effects sheet?"
What I said:
"Just to note, basic maintenance comes from the General Fund And has been in decline since the late ‘70s. The capital levies fund new/renovated building and additions plus big maintenance like water lines, roofs and HVAC. We all know if you do not maintain a building, small problems turn into big problems."
I believe that there is a lot of money in the various BEX/BTA levies (not just the current ones but ones dating way back). This should be a priority.
Is it going to take a child to be seriously injured by one of the needles before SPS or the city or PTAs are going do something LIKE making the police enforce the laws?
Cameras cost less than $50...DO SOMETHING PEOPLE!!!!!

hahahahaha!
Better ask about that if you enjoy fiction.

Maybe actual treatment is the way to go. Address the actual problem(s), not just the symptoms.

I would send the perp to jail for 3 days then 2 weeks of cleaning up homeless encampments.
I'm so brutal!
