 Several e-mails a week come into the FBISDwatch site regarding ongoing issues in the school district. We are sharing this one publically while protecting the source for obvious reasons:
"It has come to my attention that Lake Olympia Middle School has not had a functional fire alarm system since Friday, October 2, 2009. The children at Lake Olympia Middle School have not had a functional alarm system for five full days. Instead, FBISD has been forced, by the fire marshal, to have a fire watch placed on the school to ensure the safety of the children. The safety of FBISD children has to be ensured by the wonderful men and women of the fire departments, since our school district support manager..., has not done her due diligence and cannot guarantee our children's safety. "
This issue was first covered by local media, but the system apparently has remained down. We received this update last night via e-mail:
"As we speak, the alarm system is still down at Lake Olympia MS. Now, I do not think it reasonable that 2 weeks is the required time to repair the fire alarm system."
Obviously something needs to be done. A fire watch has been ordered by the fire marshalls office and this can be a very expensive endeavor as well as unnecessary if the system were immediately fixed or replaced. This is not a safe situation for the children, families or employees of LOMS.
When will senior administration and the school board act on this crisis?
We will update this story as needed...

Local elementary schools were invited to participate in the first annual “Holiday Card Project” by designing and painting a holiday card to be prominently displayed along 3rd Street. Each participating elementary school will be provided with one 4’ x 8” sheet of plywood generously donated by McCoy’s Building Supply in Rosenberg. Five Lamar Consolidated Independent School District schools have committed to participating in the project: Bowie Elementary, Dickinson Elementary, Huggins Elementary, Meyer Elementary, and Smith Elementary.

 Tax rate goes up in Fort Bend ISD
Trustees approve increase Sept. 28
By ZEN T.C. ZHENG HOUSTON CHRONICLE
Fort Bend school officials said the district's 3½-cent property tax hike for next year will not fund anything other than what voters endorsed nearly two years ago.
The school board approved on Sept. 28 a new tax rate of $1.305 per $100 assessed value. Last year, the district's tax rate rose by 2 cents from $1.25 in 2007. . .
During recent school board workshops and the Sept. 28 meeting in which trustees approved the tax-rate increase, officials tried to dispel speculation from critics that the district sought the higher tax rate to fund projects they described as wasteful, including a controversial “Global Center for Science and Technology.”
