Progress is being made with the restoration of power to
schools. As of this email, power has been restored to WTHS, Tatnuck, May
Street, and Chandler Magnet.
Schools still without power are: Flagg, Clark
Street, Norrback, Nelson Place, Woodward
Day and the Foley Athletic Complex.
All hanging limbs on school property will be addressed
today. Obviously, there will be piles of debris set aside on school sites
until those can be removed.
Forest Grove Middle
School continues to operate as a shelter for the city due to the number
of homes still without power.
John Hennessy and several bus drivers are out not riding
routes to determine any areas that may have street conditions that would create
difficulty for buses to travel and any areas that may make it difficult for
walkers to navigate. There are some ongoing problems with traffic lights,
mainly in areas where power has not been restored.
Brian Allen, Jim Bedard, Jack Navin and others in school
plant are out visiting various school sites to monitor and support our cleanup
efforts and other repairs/intervention that may be needed at schools.
Our Emergency Response Team is working very closely with
Dave Clemons and the City’s Emergency Team to share information and
receive updates. We are also working closely with National Grid.
Kudos to all in Finance and Operations, including our
custodians and tradespeople, who are assisting with our recovery efforts to
reopen schools as soon as possible.
