Reader offers long list of problems at new East, Soaring Heights, Irving schools

In a comment about last night's post on the injury suffered by East Middle School secretary Sue Macy when a cabinet fell on her Friday, a reader notes that the cabinets are far from being the only problem at East and that the other new schools have also been plagued by problems:

Here's a partial list of the problems in the new buildings thus far:
Ceiling collapse due to snow over the office at Soaring Heights, which ruined the office computers
Ceiling collapse and leaks over the library at East
Rain water coming up under the doors at East
Metal door separator falling off at East
Bathroom doors that don't close or lock properly at East
Ceiling leaks leading to collapse at Irving
Black mold growing in the teachers' workroom floor at Irving
Inadequate internet availabilit at East
Allow wiring instead of copper at the new JHS (something that Huff fought to keep when the electric company fought for copper, which is what the city ordinarily requires)

This is just the beginning. Those who have knowledge of other items owe it to their fellow taxpayers to list them on the post. You can bet that the Globe will not address this waste of tax money and endangerment to the students and staff members at the new schools. The big question? Why do we stil pay CJ Huff and Mike Johnson? There is nothing they have not ruined between them in this district from academics, to teacher retention, to assuring safe buildings. Incredible mismanagement is evident in all directions.
