Safety is An ACTIVE PLAN Please the GTHS is a Planned Safety Problem

For all who may be interested in the Safety of Placing Students at the Proposed High School site in Grand Terrace you should look at this September's Highgrove Happenings. http://www.highgrovehappenings.net/Latest.html it isn't posted yet... Pick one up at the Stop N Go Market... there are still a few to read.

Assess the effects if those rail cars contained chlorine, or Ammonia, or Sulfuric Acid. The Tracks in Highgrove are not like the ones near Colton High School. Colton's Tracks are a Rail Yard where the trains MOVE SLOW... The Tracks along the Grand Terrace close to the Propose High School are Tracks where trains run at Speeds of 35 to 45 MPH or faster at times...

Everyone should give this FULL consideration. Students most will be dependent on Buses to respond for evacuations. This seems like a bad location, on several levels. I am concerned, very concerned.

Rail Derailments
Pico/Taylor Being Closed... Possible ONE EXIT only in an emergency... Clearly a RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN must be developed and practiced. Remember the jar of pesticide causing an event at Terrace Hills. Take that to 100,000,000.000 times the event. We will need body bags, not clean clothes.

Also interesting in the Highgrove Happenings there was an anonymous source of information referenced in the report about a Body Found. Virginia Harper had no article. Note the article about wild life. Owls, skunks, puma, coyotes... oh my... yes keep the pets and small children under supervision at all times. Safety is not an accident it is a plan of action.
