Lack of Maintenance at Prescott School in Missoula #4 - Mold, Shattered sprinkler pipes, Lack of Security and Lighting, Conclusion

 

MOLD IN MANY AREAS AROUND PRESCOTT SCHOOL

  

  

SPRINKER INSTALLATION DUE TO SHATTERED PIPES AND OTHER PROBLEMS

         

  

               

LACK OF SECURITY AND ADEQUATE LIGHTING


  

There is information of the lack of lighting at Prescott School on the YouTube channel – Prescott School in Missoula. The lack of lighting contrasts with other schools which has adequate lighting.


CONCLUSION -

Prescott School deserves justice to the wrongs it has incurred both by the Missoula County Public Schools administration and the private school approximately 20- year lessee, Missoula International School. Prescott School needs to be brought back to the 2004 maintenance levels and reopened for public school students. Prescott School has been a popular school for a century and a quarter, since 1891 and is celebrating its 135th anniversary this year (2026). This celebration need not be diminished by a sale or long-term lease.

There has been some maintenance by MCPS in recent years. Sprinkler installation, picking up lawn bags by the groundskeeper, and arranging volunteers for painting work, however, this had been minimal in light of the work that needs to be done both inside and outside.

In the lease of 2004 and other lease extensions for Missoula International School of Prescott School it states under # 15: “District will be responsible for major structural repairs such as roof repair or replacement and boiler repair and replacement. Lessee will be responsible for any other maintenance and repairs resulting from use of the Premises.”

Throughout the years since 2004 there have been blatant violations of the lease regarding the maintenance clause in the lease. These violations have been reported to the district without repercussions for Missoula International School.

Due to these infractions that have left Prescott School in disrepair and other concerns there should be no action in the direction of a sale or a lease, either short or long term.
