Hi Laurie,
I am happy to meet with the community at La Entrada. Starla, if professional staff could reach out to Lisa Cesario to set a date,
that would be great. This is both appropriate and necessary.
With kind regards,
Ray

Subject: water mane burst next to La Entrada Middle SchoolHi -I am a parent of 2 kids who attend La Entrada Middle School. As you
are probably aware, a water main burst in October - causing school to be canceled for 2 days. Then last week - another water main
burst causing school to be evacuated in the middle of the day. These water main breaks have cause damage to the school, relocation
of classrooms, lost instruction time.and major headaches for parents to figure out how to pick up their kids from school and
supervision for canceled days.
In addition to the damage to buildings, teachers have lost valuable items - some sentimental. I know my son's Latin teacher,
Eleanor Stuart, has been affected. Her classroom was the first one to flood (shin deep water) last Thursday. She lost items that
were both monetarily valuable and sentimental (gifts from her father). She was trying to keep her students safe and try to rescue
her items at the same time.
The city should establish a fund for teachers to claim reimbursement for their lost and damaged items.
In addition, the city council should come to La Entrada to brief the community and why these water manes have burst, what the city
is doing to ensure this does not continue to happen, and address community concerns going forward. This meeting should be
scheduled for before the winter break.
Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards,
Laurie SobelLa Entrada Middle School Parent
