What Are the Reasons for Your Overall Impression? (250 Character Limit) What are the reasons for your overall impression? (250 character limit) "The East High theater is inadequate and is in dire need of renovation. Please add this project to the spring referendum. It is a disgrace to have our talented students perform in a such a space and uncomfortable for parents and community members to partake in events." "The East High theater is inadequate and is in dire need of renovation. Please add this project to the spring referendum. It is a disgrace to have our talented students perform in a such a space and uncomfortable for parents and community members to partake in events." (Basing this on Memorial HS only): School is dated and rooms are shabby, poorly lit and badly ventilated. It's all functional, but the environment is depressing and institutional. It's depressing walking into the building, and my kids feel it. .. == First sight: smelly hall way, very old lockers which doors are sometimes not closed. == Bathroom: too small space, "not kids-friendly" toilets 1) lack of air conditioning and modern HVAC systems. 2) lack of sidewalks around and near some elementary schools 3) assuming a relative lack of hardwired , modern IT, communication, and security systems. 1) Lack of space (work spaces seen in hallways for example) 2) Not all are ADA compliant 3) Lack of lighting in some areas 4) Some lack appropriate width of walks along street (City issue that the schools should address) 1. No airconditioning combined with policies that prohibit opening doors plus windows that barely open, means kids puking and fainting with heat during hot days where it might be 97 deg F outside and 100+ deg F inside. 2. Need wheelchair accessibility that doesn't make kids wheel down driveways (no sidewalk) to building. 3. crammed so many kids into schools to over capacity forcing staff to use broom closets for offices. 3 kids in school (current and former students) A lot of old, out of date buildings and equipment. A lot of older facilities have poor air quality, plumbing issues. I've known people who have gotten very sick in our school buildings. Some have died. A lot of the classroom space is overcrowded and very old. At least at Hamilton Middle and West High School (where my kids go) the focus and prioritization of the curriculum and academic material (which I agree with) over the physical facilities may have caused aging buildings and infrastructure to be ignored. A lot of the facilities are dated and it is time to modernize our schools. a lot of the schools are old and have not had any improvements made to them. and at capacity. A lot of things are old and out of date. The roofing tiles on Huegel for example. A lot of things in my kids' school look old, based on aesthetic design things and based on the condition of the structure, i.e. there are areas that are extremely dirty, and some knicks/dents in walls/floors/counters. A majority of the school buildings are outdated and worn down. Landscaping/school grounds need upgrading in many places. Most learning spaces are not designed for modern learning where collaboration between students and staff is a must. A parent of two children since graduated especially at Lowell and East High School. A+ Accommodating most students and cutting back in a time of economic down swings is what we are all doing. It's good to teach students to be thrifty when they need to be. accounts from teachers Accumulated wear & tear adequate facilities. some very good some in need of upgrade. After having been several of the buildings, visible lack of care can be seen. After having elementary aged kids spend 6 years in the splender of Olson, the dreariness and discomforts of Toki are striking. How about air-conditioning to start? Working classroom computers? After traveling around to different parts of the country, I am amazed at how poor our schools are compared to other states. Our elementary schools do not have air conditioning, updated technology, and sometimes not even heat. age and general condition of facilities Age of buildings Age of buildings, accessibility (ADA non-compliance), outdated infrastructure, poorly designed/inflexible classrooms (especially shortage of outlets, lack of sink/water source in many cases) Age of buildings, inadequate space for certain functions, run-down appearance Age of buildings---underwhelming physical plant for schools that are supposed to be so great age of schools Age, upkeep of the facilities. Aging building, with old classrooms and classroom furniture, including rusty desks; unclean facilities, including strong smells throughout the school, particularly when it is hot, and unclean restrooms; poor ventilation, poor or non-existent air-conditioning and poor heating; poor condition of sports and recreational areas; limited or non- existent separation of spaces (eating in the classroom, library or even the gym instead of a cafeteria doesn't appropriate); poor condition of library; Aging buildings, cramped bathrooms and common areas (cafeterias, theaters/auditoriums) Aging buildings, poor outside "curb appeal," subpar athletic facilities. Aging facilities Aging facilities - old HVAC systems. Some buildings should be completely gutted - Modern schools use space differently. Also technology infrastructure upgrades are needed. Aging facilities with little upkeep improvement. I can only speak for the schools I've been to but Midvale's playground is atrocious and unsafe. The 4K classroom is in a basement room that has one door and no windows - what if there was an emergency? The kids could conceivably be trapped - with NO EXIT. Apparently this is ok with the fire dept - i checked but it is not safe. In general out of date access to technology. Aging facilities, lack of adequate space, poor aesthetic quality. Aging properties. Dripping faucets. Unkept gutters. aging schools not maintained Aging schools which are in need of many upgrades and/or renovations. aging structures in need of rennovation or replacement Aging structures, furniture. Overcrowded classrooms. No air conditioning, inadequate staffing to thoroughly clean buildings daily. Many buildings not ADA accessible. Air quality, ventilating systems, drinking water quality, seating arrangements are archaic All 3 building that my kids go to look dated. While the flooring is clean it has cracks. The bathrooms are disgusting. I don't think the smell can come out of the tiles! In particular Jefferson has terrible set up for classrooms - the sound is too much to help kids concentrate. All 4 Madison schools that my children attended seem outdated, dark and dirty. With my health issues, not every school was accessible. very frustrating! Thankful for good staff with positive attitudes who made the best of things and helped make things work for me. All buildings are old, and some such as Hamilton and West are pretty crowded..others may be even more crowded All high schools and several other schools are quite old. All of the buildings where my children have attended or currently attend seem very outdated, use space poorly, are generally very worn/dirty looking simply due to lack of necessary upkeep. All of the facilities my children have attended were constructed 40 plus years ago. I'm familiar with previous referenda that sought funds for maintenance that was overdue. All schools are not wheelchair accessible. People who have visual disabilities are pretty much at a loss. Temporary disabilities like crutches really are on a case by case situation at the mercy of discretion. East has a severe rodent investation. All sites I've seen are well maintained and clean. All staffs are ver friendly and school provides a very good environment for children. All the buildings I have been in are at least 40 years old, and some are even older. I know West High has only one elevator for the entire school, and has no access to the 4th floor for disable students. This is illegal and wrong and I am sure will be met with a law suit sooner than later. All three of my children's schools look exactly as they did twenty five years ago. (Although none of them appear on this plan) They look run-down and outdated. Meanwhile their peers in every suburb have new or newly renovated schools. It's time Madison kids get a better learning environment. Although basic structural needs appear to be met, over crowding in some schools is a real issue and areas of the schools need updating/renovating. Although buildings are kept very clean, it seems that many of the facilities are aging and in need of updating and maintenance or repair. Although facilities are clean, due to the hard work of district custodians, there are so many buildings in the district that are simply old and worn. Although many facilities are getting old, the ones we frequent and/or visit are well-maintained and seem adequate. We are more concerned about TECHNOLOGY PLAN and such relationship to facilities, curriculum, teacher/staff development. Although some are old, that is to be expected in an urban school district and most faciities seem to be well- maintained. Although some schools are old they seem clean and well maintained. Although the schools work, and faculty does their best to make do- the schools are old and dumpy - and not in many instances not condusive to learning Always seem safe and well maintained An "overall impression" is perhaps less than helpful. Some facilities are excellent; others are inaccessible, aging and overcrowded. The presence of some up-to-date facilities does not raise the quality of the ones that need attention. Antiquated layouts, accessibility issues, rundown facilities appearance Appearance and function of facilities Appearance and not enough room to accommodate all teachers and student needs.

The report will be useful as a guide to archeological work, a source of information for inter­ pretation, and will document the historical base map. ii Captain David Brown of Concord David Brown, farmer, early patriot, and distinguished civic leader of Concord, was the son of Ephrain Brown and Hannah Wilson. He was born in 1732--the sixth of nine children--presumably in his father's old homesite near the Old Groton Road. 1 Young David was married to Abigail Munroe in 1756. She was probably of Concord also, and may have been a daughter of Thomas Munroe who had a large family of girls about David's age. He was described as a "tall, fine looking man, very kind-hearted and social in his feelings, well to do in matters of property, owning the farm on which he lived, then quite valuable, and carrying it on up to the time of his death."2 That Brown was a very active and prominent man in town affairs, before and after the Revolution, is attested by the Concord Town Records.

The story is developed from the authors personal knowledge and from the best known authorities available. The author believes that a knowledge of the early history of the Inland Enpire as it influenced the local area, of the Native American Inhabitants, and the struggles by which our ancestors took possession of this land, are necessary for an understanding of the prejudices and mores of our poople today. Therefor, several chapters have been devotec to the early period of exploration and settlement. It was decided to end the story of the Wallowa at the close of the year 1954.
