Janitors Can Give Protection
The never-ending stupidity of bureaucrats in general and the Los Angeles Unified School District in particular sets my teeth on edge. The recorded list of fires, vandalism, trashing and malicious destruction in our school system is beyond outrageous.
The Sun Valley Junior High School fire is another sickening example of the shortsighted, callous disregard for the taxpayer’s money. Estimated loss--$350,000.
It has been suggested to the school district time after time that they keep janitorial personnel on school premises overnight. There is no reason they cannot perform their jobs after school hours. The people of this school district are fed up with millions of their tax dollars being wasted to repair damage that could been prevented by the presence of custodians.
The exposure of valuable and scarce resources to an obviously out-of-control criminal element is no longer tolerable.
