Gustav: Maintence crews begin work

Maintenance crews will be heading out tomorrow to begin removing debris in the front portion of schools. Emphasis will be initially focused on securing any dangerous maintenance needs. The district saw significant minor damage to canopies, gutters, building flashing, awnings, etc. Phase I of recovery will be focused on getting schools ready to open on Wednesday, September 10th. All buildings will need a walk-thru inspection and we are somewhat worried about damage that may not be currently visible. Restoring power is step one to our eventual recovery. All AC units will need to be inspected to uncover any possible damage.


Principals have been asked to periodically check freezer temperature. A concern has been that some freezers have digital external thermometers. Principals are requested to check the internal thermometer daily to record freezer temperature. We are especially concerned about any freezers that exceed a core temperature of 35 degrees.


Food vendors are reportedly ready to make deliveries to meet our anticipated reopening of school.
