Honestly, I’m pretty worried about the environment at Ruggles lately. I saw official board notes about equipment like floor scrubbers sitting around with dead batteries and unknown issues with water tanks—it makes you wonder how deep the maintenance problems really go if they can’t even keep the cleaning gear running. The school is in an older building and you can definitely feel it; the air feels heavy and the kids seem to be catching every little bug that goes around. Communication about illnesses is pretty spotty too, so you usually don't know something is circulating until your own kid comes home with a fever. It feels like they are struggling with the basics of upkeep and health safety right now.
