The community in and around Dr. Howard have prepared a letter to the Board and have copied it to local news outlets; there is a possibility that there will be something on the broadcast news tonight. The letter details several outstanding issues with the Dr. Howard building and asks for some form of remediation before 2025.
It is impressive how the Dr. Howard community has come to stand together on an issue that they feel is important.
UPDATE: The district administration has responded, and two board members will be attending the Dr. Howard PTA meeting tonight.

Didn’t they close Columbia because it was “unsafe” or something before they started using it again? So I guess they can use old buildings. Wow! The irony. Next someone will suggest putting high school kids there.
