F7:
The Anzar High School student bathrooms and locker rooms were clean and once again despite the wet weather conditions void of mud. What was even more impressive was the fact that the head custodian was out sick and had been for 2 days.
F8:
The Grand Jury concurs with the School District that an additional full time landscaping employee would be helpful to accommodate weather events such as downed trees and preventive maintenance.
F9:
The District representative misunderstood the Civil Grand Jury Process for San Benito County, when conducting interviews with employees/witnesses. If a principal is available on the day of a site inspection no District representatives are required to accompany members of the Grand Jury and all employees are welcome to answer questions if time allows during the visit. 1
F10:
The site inspection revealed that both schools are better maintained now then they had been in the past. It is evident that both school personnel and the students take great pride in their schools. This is a direct reflection on the outstanding leadership provided by both school principals, their custodial personnel as well as the District Office. The inquiry revealed that school personnel feel that there is an open door policy between the custodial personnel, the school principals and the District. They feel that this openness is what has resulted in an improved and healthy environment for the students and the staff at their respective schools. It is also obvious that the school principals and their custodial staff understand the Grand Jury process and/or are willing and open to cooperating with the grand jury process.
