Letters: School Equipment Needs Maintenance

\"P1060093\"

I too have a photo I like to share with your readers taken several days ago. It is a picture of a broken picnic table behind the Cold Spring School in Gloucester City. Not only is the wood in this table dry rotten, which caused it to break, but also is the wood in the two other picnic tables that are located on school grounds. I don’t know if anyone got hurt when the table in the photo broke. I do think it should have been removed by today, which it wasn’t at 1 PM, as it is hazardous and unsightly.

I question why the maintenance department had allowed this table and continues to allow the other tables to be used by staff and school children. It is obvious to anyone looking at the other two tables that they too are in danger of breaking. The condition of these tables didn’t happen overnight. How much time would it take to throw a coat of stain or paint on the tables each year. Appearance is everything, and I agree with you that Community Pride starts with the outward appearance of your home and or your school.

Lastly I would suggest if those who run the school district are not capable of maintaining something as simple as picnic tables should we be building a $65 million Middle School. One further point take a walk behind the high school football field and look at the brand new bleachers, not so new now, that have been dumped in the brush near the baseball field for over a year. Do we have that much money to waste that we can throw aluminum bleachers away?

I commend Mr. Lipsett for addressing the problem on Sylvan Avenue caused by the men of the Public Works Dept. Hopefully School Supt. Spaventa is also a reader of ClearysNoteBook and will take action to clean up this mess behind the Cold Springs Pre-School. And recover the bleachers near the HS baseball field now that it has been brought to his attention.

Thank you for providing this forum as a means to reach out to those who run our City and School District. It is much appreciated.
