Conduit and wiring between the kiln and breaker box/shutoff is broken and disconnected in art room #113B.

General Comments
Ants were present on sink counter top in classroom #200. Recommend pest control treatments for this class room. Classrooms #306 and #307 flood frequently during storms. A drainage ditch is needed outside of the building in this area to channel runoff away from the building and into an existing storm drain on the adjacent playground. The repeated flooding of these classrooms increases the potential of floor damage and interior mold growth. Repeat repair request from prior years school sanitation inspections. Custodial closets should be kept closed and locked when staff are not present.
