Someone fowarded this email from the Math & Science Exploratory School in Brooklyn:

April 22, 2009

Due to the rain on Monday, we had a partial ceiling collapse in the fourth floor gym area. Our gym is currently off limits. We are waiting word from inspectors as to when it will be fixed and usable. Therefore gym classes will be held outside weather permitting or in classrooms.

The person who forwared it to me sent it with this comment:

yikes! i hope no one was injured! good thing there's plenty of money for ratner, but our schools are LITERALLY collapsing...

Funny how money for Ratner is always thought to be creating jobs, but money to maintain our schools isn't. Why is that?
