Mr. Sharp just left the building after our final conference for the OSHA inspection. It appears that we will get 6-8 citations which we will need to address. One is housekeeping in the home ec room of all places! Several deal with head bumpers in the basement, and the most costly will be the white storage building near the bus garage where we store our mowers, etc.. We've been looking at a good reason to spend some money on replacing that structure and OSHA may have just provided that reason. Basically, the second floor is unsafe entirely, and there's no means of egress except a garage door. It appears that we would be eligible for 75% reimbursement for moneys spent to remediate a capital citation. I think we should price out repairs to bring us into compliance, and then compare those costs to replacing the structure ourselves with a pole barn or Morton building. We probably would need SED approval, but we could get 75% of the costs covered under the OSHA funding- whereas SED will not provide building aid for it at all becasue it's non-instructional space. What do you think? I won't have official citations to react to until January, but I thought you might want to start cogitating! More to come on this...
