I suppose the administration was sitting air conditioned offices! I think I

would have marched myself down there and insisted school be dismissed

because it was dangerous to be in that heat!

Dear ,

I feel bad for you tolerating the heat. I

can not take the heat, I moved back to Chicago from Louisiana to get away from it.

Would they let you wear a hat with water mister

in the classroom?

Re: [ ] what

causes autoimmune diseases

I was leaning on the lectern and I was slowly getting

goofy. It was

definitely a mild heat stroke. We have only

one window in class the size of

my two hands.

Rhonda, I agree, but once you get pegged by our superintendent, your life is over. It is horrible. I don't know if I would have the strength to fight it all. But truly I am thinking of calling!

Also, have continually requested handicap stalls in our bathrooms, but so far nothing is being done. I don't know what else to do BUT to call.......

Please be very careful about the abestos stuff...I worked in commercial realty before getting sick and we were required to seal off the vacinity while removing the tile in a very small room. We had to sign waivers in case we got sick and everything. Another thing is the mold hazzard in the ceiling tiles. OSHA would have a fieldday at your schools if they knew about all of this. You can call confidentially and the can examine your whole school without pinpointing you. There are codes that have to be maintained or else violations carry stiff penalties. If you're willing to take the passive road for yourself, what about the children you teach?

Hi,

Document all of these events. It sounds

like the building is not in compliance.

<PRE>Thanks Rhonda - this is my next step. I have talked and talked till I am

blue in the face. I dont know any alternative but OSHA

[Guest guest]

Debby is right - if you are perceived as too much of a complainer than you

are ultimately blacklisted at your school. But this disease does supercede

any blacklist. Maybe I should call OSHA in your state Deb and I you can call

Montana

[Guest guest]

<PRE>WOW thanks

[Guest guest]

....I think you may be on to something! I will give this consideration! You surely DO have a point! I will think about this one for a bit and get back to you!!!

How long ago did that teacher call OSHA? I would immediately file a complaint against the building manager / district for harassment!

Re: [ ] Re: what causes autoimmune diseases

<PRE>Dont I know - one teacher called OSHA and our district building magr got in her face and told her she could lose her job. He dont scare me.

Thank you for this link - I have decided I need to gather as much concrete evidence as I can to fight this on an intellectual level. If that is futile then I will call OSHA and accept any consequences my administrators decide to dish out.
