Yo Folsomites...

Anyone besides me notice the "blue tarp" on the gym roof at Folsom High.. you know the one that cost us what...? about $75 Mil to complete...

That roof has been a problem since it was built and we've never had that resolved...?

I drove by the school a few times last week and noticed the tarp is still there.. haven't been there in a few days... so I don't know if they fixed it...

Can someone help me here...?

if it ain't fixed... what in the hell is the School District doing about getting it fixed...?

If you buy a stinking single family dwelling that is new, you get a 10 year contractor's warranty on the "bones" and the roof....

What did we get here... ?

Somebody.....Help me... Help me... Help me....!!!!!

Why do they need a tarp, it hasn't rained in months. Maybe to keep the sun out?

Sending it out to bid for prevailing wage.......

Every year, with the first rain, without a fail, there's a leak.

Anybody think about contacting the district?!? That is, unless you're just looking for an argument here. Perhaps it's better to get the answers FIRST and then posting the response here rather than starting an argument. I, too, think the tarp and problems are bizarre but I certainly don't have the answers. If you're so concerned you have the following options:

Matt Washburn, Director of Facilities, mwashbur@fcusd.org
Debbie Bettencourt, Deputy Superintendent/Chief Financial Officer, dbettenc@fcusd.org

You could always go to a board meeting or contact the superintendent and complain but they'll just refer the question to staff. Why not help all of us by being proactive and getting the info first hand.

I'm all for a spirited debate but let's make it an informed debate!

Why should I waste my time...

I'm going to get the run around from them anyway...

It's only been 7 years since the school was pretty much finished... maybe a little less for that building but my boys were the first Juniors and Seniors there to graduate...

so.. I ain't going to know stinking school board meeting anymore... I'm done with that crapola...been there.. done that...

my point is that what ever they are going to say... it's going to be BS... it's a pretty simple thing isn't it...

Why can't we have a completed building...?

Get back to me...

[tessieca]

I'll get back to you . . . soon.

FWIW the roof at Intel bldg FM7 leaks every year and it is the newest bldg there. In fact, you can see evidence of leaks on the ceiling of the 3rd floor and it's a 4 story bldg!!!!!

[MikeinFolsom]

Gym roof......Firehouse roof.....they're all built the same. On the cheap and hope they don't leak. Both leak every year. And every year they're repaired, at great cost, just so they can leak again next year.

[swmr545]

This is why I laughed when people would say how great the facilities at FHS were. Yes they are better than a lot of high schools in the area, but when they stopped replacing ceiling tiles and just painting over the waterdamage I began to question.

Here we are labled as an afluent community, and our school district can no longer replace ceiling tiles.

I wonder if Vista will experience the same if we ever get rain again.

This has been a yearly problem since the school opened. The leaks have caused damage to the floor several times and displaced basketball and volleyball practices and games. This year I noticed that even the roof on the multipurpose building was being repaired. It is obvious at this point that there is a serious continuing problem. The question is whether the District is paying for the repairs or is the original contractor and getting compensation for renting other facilities for practices. If not I would advise giving the original contractor some free advertising. A nice big banner on the outside of the gym could let everyone know who did such a poor job and what to expect if they use the same contractor. I can't wait to hear some logical explanation from Tessieca why this situation has existed for at least seven years.

Well.. Tess did say she was going to get back to us... I mean she's on the school board and the school board needs to make "staff" answer for this... since they are the ones that run the thing from day to day...

I think there is more to this than meets the eye so to speak...

It's been a problem since the day it opened... and I can't believe they can't fix this thing...

and if they can't why they haven't 'sued" somebody responsible...

It's my understanding that Roeblin Construction built the school. (not sure if spelling is correct)

If you had taken this line by line, it might have made a neat Haiku.
