A school in Somerville, Massachusetts, was forced to shut down last week after a chunk of concrete fell from the ceiling -- adding to a laundry list of other problems, according to frustrated parents -- and it will remain closed for the rest of the school year, leaving the city to figure out where to put hundreds of students for the time being.
The sign on school grounds says call 311 to report problems, but parents at Winter Hill Community School say lately, they’ve been wanting to call 911. No one was inside the school when that concrete fell, but some furious parents say this is just one of the many issues they’ve been dealing with when it comes to structural damage and they don’t feel safe sending their kids to the Winter Hill school.
Gandy Aldana, who has a son in the third grade there, says there's been problem after problem -- from broken elevators to sinks, to bathrooms and now the concrete falling onto a stairwell Thursday. She's thankful no one was in the building because the night before it was an entirely different story when there was an open house for all families.Sign up for NECN newsletters.
