This is a YouTube video regarding the poor maintenance by Missoula International School of the Missoula County Public School's Prescott School property was uploaded on January 11, 2011.
Missoula International School is in Breach of Contract as they have never taken adequate care of the grounds of Prescott School.
Missoula County Public Schools is equally at fault as they have never enforced this part of the lease as well as other parts of the lease.
One can read about the contract which Misosula International School has with Missoula County Public Schools on the YouTube video information which follows:
Missoula International School ratified a five year lease with Missoula County Public Schools in 2004. Again, in 2009, a second lease was ratified for three years with an optional extension of 5 more years if all agree on a price. Missoula International School has been in Breach of Contract since 2004 as this private school has not taken care of the 2.3 playground as specified in both lease agreements. The first lease states, "Lessee will provide maintenance of the lawn and grounds around the Premises according to the standards and requirements currently practiced by District."
The second lease states, "Lessee, at its expense, shall maintain all landscaping (including parking striping and weed control)...and, Maintenance of the lawn and grounds around the Premises shall be in accordance with the standards and requirements currently practiced by District." Neighbors have called the District many summers and complained that the lawn had not been watered in mid-July, some summers with record heat. The lack of watering has caused the lawn to die leaving many bare patches and has enabled the growth of an infestation of knapweed over the playground and the outside perimeters. The dreaded Missoula County "Purple Peril" has taken over at Prescott School. Lack of stewardship of school property by District officials for ignoring these and other complaints is inexcusable and officials need to be held accountable for their lack of action on this issue.
The hemorrhaging of funds from the district due to the lease of Prescott School to Missoula International School is another problem as outlined in a letter to the editor by David Patterson in the Missoulian on June 8, 2004. If you have concerns about the lease and the lack of care to the Prescott playground please call the District at (406)-728-2400 and ask for Superintendent Apostle.
The maintenance of the grounds of Prescott School by Missoula International School is written into all three of the Prescott School/Missoula International School lease contracts.
