Dear concerned resident & taxpayer UPDATED

An anonymous letter found its way to this blog. I have scanned it and is available as a pdf in the hyperlink above and as jpgs below.

Anyone care to comment? I am curious about the roof warranty. The author claims that the project is behind schedule. Was the FAT to be ready late January 2013? What about the 6th floor?

Update 9:55 PM  Perfect timing! The District has uploaded this 4:21 minute video illustrating the items mentioned in this anonymous letter.  The 2 small white boards are at the end of the video, not smart boards, but white boards. The large white board is at 4:01. Is that a 21st century classroom?  High School Project Photos

21st century classroom

For those of you who did not see the video made by the School District, you can see what a 21st century classroom looks like here. Of course, I have lots of questions about this.  Who paid for this?  How much did it cost? Did we get it from the same company that sold us the RTK hardware?

"It was moved by Remely and seconded by Cappucci that the Board awards the Email Archiving Bid to Ideal Integrations in the amount of $49,682 as the lowest responsible bidder meeting specifications. (Copy in official minutes.)"

Why was it built in the building that is being torn down? Isn't this proof that we can make 21st century classrooms out of 1972 buildings? Isn't this a little premature since this sort of thing becomes obsolete the very next day you buy it, let alone something that will be used fifteen years into the 21st century? Why didn't we buy a spell check program for the District website? Ideal Integrations has checked this blog 108 times since April 23, 2011.  Is this equipment being used to follow this blog or does Ideal Integrations have a vested interest in Mt. Lebanon?
