  • More than 40 mice droppings were observed on floors along walls and corners in the prep area, with an additional 10 droppings found inside a closet in the north classroom. An exterminator was required to address the infestation.
  • Damaged baseboards, wall openings, peeling paint, and missing ceiling tiles were found throughout multiple areas including washrooms and storage spaces.
  • Debris was scattered on floors in the prep, storage, and furnace room areas.
