Coffee County Central High School. It's disgusting, and downright embarrassing. The sad thing is, they won't even cut us the slack of letting us out of class while they try to fix it.

Its really stupid that there foxing the roof and haven kids inside it when its working. You don't need kids at school when the roof is being fixed, plus leaking water... that's a health problem... they need to close school. Rooms are being flooded, because of this... the school is trying to change but changen from the wrong...

It really is terrible. It's hard to concentrate while there is a river flowing through your classroom...

There was roof falling in my Alegbra 2 class today, and we had to have workers come in and work on it, while trying to learn, which was super difficult. It's all to distracting to even pay attention in class, and dangerous, also.

The segment on News Channel 4 was great. However, they didn't even show the worst of it. Mr. Miller's classroom, room number 33, is 75% covered with tarps. His monitor , student's work, irreplacable ceiling tiles that were painted by former students, over 100 magazines that students use for research and projects were ruined; not to mention his personal bookshelf was completely demolished. Going into the fourth day, the English Department hallway reeks of mold, mildew, and rotting ceiling tiles.
The Director of Schools told the local newspaper that they knew it was going to happen. Why did they not give the teachers a heads up so that the teachers could have protected their teaching materials and classrooms? As the work on the roof continues, the fear that other areas will suffer water damage.
Five or six years ago our county voted to raise our local sales tax to pay for a new high school. Then they changed it to a four year building plan which was supposed to include a new high school. We have nothing to show for it except a new unneccassary elementary and now a 3 million dollar band-aid for a leaky high school.
I think we need a new county commission and a new superintendent.
These images are from Monday afternoon. And it has continued to pour rain in the room.
