Repair the floodlights on the Bessie Carmichael K-5 Campus. These lights being non-operational presents a serious safety risk for students and staff of the after-school programs. A work order was submitted to the SF Unified School District by Principal Gotanco in September 2013 but the lights remain non-functioning.
Why is this important?
My son David attends Bessie Carmichael K-8 school at the K-5 campus and participates in the after school programs there. When I went to pick him up in the evening a few days after Daylight Savings ended (November 3, 2013) I was surprised to see how dark the playground was. When I asked a program staffer if anyone had asked the school's custodial staff to update the timer on the playground lights I was informed that the floodlights that are supposed to illuminate the playground were not working and that Principal had submitted a work order in September for their repair. So far the District has not sent out Maintenance staff to fix them. This represents a serious safety hazard for children and school day/after school staff alike and must be remedied immediately.
