A water-leak solution at Ferguson Elementary School
If you haven’t been in a Klamath County School District school lately, you may not be aware of some of the needs these schools have. To illustrate how bond measure 18-91 will affect these schools, Joe Spendolini, creator of KlamathOnline.com, took his video camera to six of the schools. The result is a compelling argument as to why our schools need this $31 million bond measure passed.
Mr. Spendolini very graciously allowed us to share the vidoes on our site. Since the first open house presentation is being held at Ferguson, we thought we’d show the Joe’s video about Ferguson Elementary School. In this clip, super-intendant Greg Thede and Ferguson principal Kelley Fritz give a tour of the school and show aging building and it’s more dire needs.
With freezing pipes, classrooms near freezing (see 2:40), and leaking pipes and roof, this is not the ideal environment to educate the future of Klamath County. And for a real look at the ingenuity of the maintenance crew, be sure to skip ahead to the 4:34 mark!
Of the proposed $31 million, Ferguson will receive a little over $1.5 million to repair the roof, replace the failing, single pain windows, improve the heating system, and upgrade the lighting and fire alarm system. The trouble spots highlighted in Mr. Spendolini’s video will be addressed by passing this bond measure.
We’d like to thank Joe Spendolini for putting this and the other videos together. To see all of the clips Joe created about the Klamath County School District, visit his page “Where Will The $31 Million School Bond Money Go If Passed?“. It’s a real eye-opening experience as to why the Klamath County School District needs these schools repaired.
