Public and Private School Inspections
Attached to this memo you will find a copy of the "Summary of Public and Private
School Inspections" and a copy of the violation notice for each school that had
violations. At this time, the inspectors are in the process of reinspecting those
schools that had violations. Those schools that have a Y / C in the Violation column
indicates that they are now in compliance.
A review of the violations found at the private schools will show that the vast
majority of the violations could be categorized as "maintenance" items (i.e., a fire
extinguisher needs an annual inspection or an exit sign needs to have a light bulb
replaced). No school was found to have conditions that were an immediate threat to
life safety.
A review of the public school inspections shows that the most pressing need is to
provide a secondary means of egress from the classrooms. Copies of the inspection
reports have been sent to the Principal and to the Director of Safety at Miami-Dade
County Schools.
Regarding public school inspections, as you may already know, in the past month,
two meetings have taken place with representatives of the five fire departments in
Miami-Dade County and officials of Miami-Dade County Public Schools. The
purpose of the meetings is to develop a good working relationship between all
parties so that we can amicably resolve the life safety problems at the public schools
in a timely manner. Some items that have been agreed upon so far are:
1) Inspections will be scheduled in advance and will be done as a team
consisting of a fire department inspector and a school board inspector and/or
maintenance person.
2) Violations will be reported on a standardized form to be used by all
jurisdictions.
3) Violations will be prioritized (i.e., Priority 1, Priority 2, etc.) and each
priority will have predetermined time limit in which the work must be
completed (i.e., 3 days, 7 days, 30 days, etc.).
Having attended one of these meetings myself, I can attest that the School Board is
as committed to correcting the life safety problems in the schools as the fire
departments are. All they ask is that we be mindful of their one constraint: the
lack of money.
