Dear Fowler Elementary School District Parents and Community Members,
As you are aware, on Saturday, May 23, 2009, the roof of our school cafeteria collapsed. We are currently in the process of determining the cause of the collapse. To that end, we have retained Gervasio and Associates, structural engineers, who are investigating the cause of the collapse. Once the cause is determined, we will take all appropriate steps to hold those responsible for the collapse accountable.
In addition, structural engineers are inspecting the roofs of all of our schools to confirm that the schools are safe, and that there are no signs of roof failure. The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority, and we will continue to update you as we receive additional information.
Thank you for your continued support of our school district.
Sincerely,
Marvene Lobato
Superintendent
