Covering the Collective Ass.

Baker School will re-open tomorrow. I know that Brookline School Superintendent Bill Lupini wouldn’t call school unless he believed the facility was absolutely safe for kids. And I wouldn’t worry about sending them to school on Thursday.
What I do worry over, and want answers to, is how this happened. Covering Brookline Town Hall for five years has led me to conclude that, outside of the school department, incompetence rules the day. Except when it comes to covering the collective ass.
There’s a lot with the Baker situation that doesn’t add up. And no parent, or resident for that matter, should let this incident pass without getting answers. Perhaps we’ll learn why the Baker principal appears to have been told that the material was a fuel additive (antifreeze is added to fuel as well) and the Town’s health director says the material is a harmless mix into the water of heating transfer pipes.
Warn Bobby Allen…a public records request is going to be filed.

But Town Hall (soon to be Taj M’Hall) cannot with a mere thong cover up that cheeky crowd.
I might add, there’s no fuel like an old fool.
