Message
[To the editor]
In response to the
woman who spoke out at
the recent school board
forum at the Donegal High
School, concerning the
shoddy job of snow removal
at the Riverview school this
past winter, let me remind
you whoever you are that
this past winter we had
snowfall above normal and
freezing temperatures be-
low normal most of the
winter.
How can one janitor who
starts work at 7:00 AM,
clean the snow from 1,000
feet of walkways, plus a
front and rear entrance in
time for an 8:30 opening of
school, plus doing other
chores around a school
building.
Then to make matters
more difficult, when it
snows on Saturday or
Sunday and freezes up till
Monday morning, did you
ever try to shovel frozen
snow from your walks,
difficult job you might
agree. For you information
we do use snow shovels
around a school. Our
janitors do the best they
can under the conditions
that sometimes exist.
I have observed this past
winter numerous sidewalks
in Marietta that were not
shoveled and the children
coming to school had to
walk on top of the snow.
Next winter bring your
shovel along and help the
janitors, we start at 7:00
AM.
