Carl T. Thurnau, PE, the Director of Facilities for the New York State Education Department, recently inspected schools in the scandal-plagued haredi-controlled East Ramapo school district and found them safe – despite leaking roofs, mold and other issues, the Rockland County Times reported.
Thurnau reportedly told the schools to make sure to wash off any noticeable mold with soap and water.
Meanwhile, during the previous academic year students had to deal with wet floors, garbage cans placed throughout schools to catch leaks, and even plastic tarps hung from ceilings to catch water.
“We’ll be finding mechanisms and looking at where the staff and the state can have funds to do building repairs,” the state-appointed monitor for the East Ramapo school district, Dennis Walcott, reportedly said.
