Barnum School
Constance Shuler-Drakes: Nice, but Barnum School should make STUDENT/STAFF/HAND WASHING UPON ARRIVAL MANDATORY in all classrooms. Our health and safety should be a priority. Hand washing a is key, effective method of preventing the spread of germs. Health and Safety 1st! Promote a healthy start for 100% of Barnum Student's, just by implementing this simple rule. Safety 1st please, safety 1st.
P.S. What about the monitoring of the polution control in the surrounding water's. What were the polutants in the past? What are the recent testing results? Where can we obtain valid current information?
Safety 1st please.
