Update on Doherty

This came through this afternoon:

Cleanup operations continue to progress very well at Doherty. A custodial team that inludes custodians from Doherty and others from around the district are doing a great job in getting the cafteria cleaned of smoke, soot and water. Additionally, the kitchen/prep equipment is being cleaned by members of the school nutrition team. The kitchen/prep area will require painting which will occur on tomorrow, Monday, January 14th. The areas for painting are also being prepared for the painting. Donna Lombardi has been working closely with the health department officials to determine which food items/commodities may be retained and those that have to be discarded. The electrician and other tradesmen are doing their work to ensure effective operations for students and staff tomorrow.

Ms. Lombardi has finalized a plan to have entrees prepared at WTHS for serving and fresh fruits and vegetables will be secured from other school sites to support meals. The faculty dining room will serve as the prep/serving area until the kitchen recovery has been completed and that area is approved for food prep and service again.
