Dear Billy T and Somerville/Medford News Weekly Speakup Line,

The HS has a vape detection system
No idea who installed it when however I’ve learned they go off constantly yet the staff can’t determine the exact location so the kids baling are caught …

It’s a joke from my understanding

So I’m saying if true what’s the point of highlighting this point to parents … it’s misleading and a waste of funds

Also know there are a lot of bathrooms in the building … too many to monitor

And they’ve considered closing some?

Again, poor planing

Not that any plan is perfect but the design of the HS is poor in terms of function

And where’s the American flag?! Still missing!

2 more years

Heard bleachers not signed off and company that did install is out of business

All the best,
A frustrated Somerville Resident/parent
