Re: Lack of maintenance at Prescott School, both inside and
outside
For the past three or four years, since 2003, and
sporadically throughout the years since 2004, I have written to MCPS regarding
the lack of upkeep at Prescott School. Others have also contacted the district
and complained both by email and by telephone. Some of the complaints have been
addressed by the district and some, unfortunately, have not.
In this email are pictures of the lack of upkeep for
Prescott School from various years.
One will notice that
there are large areas with no lawn in front of the building. There are rocks
strewn where there has been some utility work both in front and on the side
where there was sprinkler work. Two bushes have died in front due to lack of
water and a fruit tree has also died in front due to lack of water.
No lawn in front, rocks
and weeds around a memorial and disintegrating ground cover
No lawn in front of
building by the memorial
Patch of weeds in
the back of building and boarded up windows

MAINTENANCE PROBLEMS
PEELING PAINT –
There are many areas all over the building where there is
need for painting. The paint on the building is peeling. There most likely has
been no painting since at least 2004 when Missoula International School leased
the building. The lease states that painting was the responsibility of MIS.
Only boiler and roof issues were to be covered by MCPS.
MORE VANDALISM – There have been many calls to the police concerning
vandalism at Prescott School.
