We, the parents/guardians and supporters of PS 130, petition the District 15 Community Education Council (CEC) to include PS 130’s need for exterior brick repointing and leak abatement when recommending capital improvement projects for District 15 to the School Construction Authority (SCA).

PS 130’s capital improvement needs were not part of the last SCA five-year plan for District 15 nor are they part of the current plan. The integrity of PS 130’s exterior has been so compromised and water permeation so advanced that multiple classroom walls have deteriorated badly enough to expose brick. Water leaks into classrooms, hallways, and other student areas creating hazardous and unsafe conditions for our children.

We respectfully call upon the District 15 CEC to fully support PS 130’s capital improvement request during the current SCA capital budget cycle. PS 130 needs remediation now!
