As the construction next door to our primary campus continues, last week we became concerned about the odor coming from the stage of the project involving the application of hot tar to the building. As it was unsatisfactory to us that we would be expected to endure this odor for a long period of time, I met with the supervisor and the on-site supervisor on Monday morning to discuss ways to mitigate our children's exposure to the odor. They will be shifting their tarring schedule to after dismissal on minimum days and will work on Saturday and Sunday as they complete the phase closest to our school. The next phase is further away from the school and on the second floor of the building. They do not anticipate that it will be a problem for us, but they will utilize construction fans to move the fumes away from us. Should this not be adequate, I have a direct phone number to call to let them know.  We will monitor this situation closely, but I am glad the company is being responsive to our concerns.
