I tend to agree with him. Why not the armory for example? it even has a yard. I would think the high school would be the last choice.

If you have children in the High School or know someone who does please pass this along. We only have one High School. We do not know how long this can go on for. The officials in charge should be planning for the worst not the best case. The decision maker for Cambridge is the City Manager. There are other facilities in Cambridge that could be used that are not unique as the High school is. The Tobin school, The Simoni ice skating rink, the national guard armory among others. None of these including the High School is a perfect fit. There is only one High School. Yes, The War memorial building has been used as a shelter. It has never been used as a treatment center for a highly communicable disease. I am sure that the city will go forward with this regardless of what I or anyone else does. I hope that they are diligent in their cleaning protocols. Extensive swabbing and surface testing of ALL surfaces needs to be done before the building will be able to be used again or the city is putting our children at risk. Every door, door handle, railing, wall, ceiling, locker, stair, furniture, phone, filter, duct, vent cover, chair(top and bottom), table(top and bottom), light fixture, countertop, any maintenance areas that air is circulated through, this is only a partial list. I hope that they are going to filter the exhaust air from the building as well as consistent and regular changing of the existing filters in the HVAC systems. I hope everyone remains safe. Wash your hands, beware of cuts on your skin, and keep your hands away from your face. Yours, ROBERT SKENDERIAN SKENDERIAN APOTHECARY 1613 CAMBRIDGE ST CAMBRIDGE,MA 02138 617-354-5600
