Superintendent Schoonmaker is pushing to replace the ventilation system in the Van Etten elementary school. That would cost $400.000.  Below a picture from room 118 which shows the present ventilation system. The pictures were taken Dec. 8 2007. There was no trace of any maintenance or cleaning to the system, but they want to spend more money on a new system. The new system will of course also look like junk soon, if it is never cleaned or maintained.

     I am a former pig farmer, and therefore sensitive to not insulting pigs, which are clean and tough animals. I do claim that my pigs lived in a better maintained environment than the students in room 118.
