The most dangerous school in America?

Call a god damn electrician.

If you decide to spend 2 million dollars on another school building that you never use, you should probably have enough money to fix your fire alarms.

More like the most laziest school in America

I used to work maintenance at a public school. The issues that you see are a direct result of people at the top wasting money on things that have nothing to do with the building. Example.... We had a backup boiler that needed the flame tubes replaced and some other reconditioning. This work must be performed by licensed companies and pass state inspection. Cost was going to be around $13K. People in charge did not approve because they didn’t see the point of spending that much on a backup boiler so denied the request. A few weeks later they approved spending $11K on a week long “team building” trip for administration that included zip lining and sightseeing helicopter rides. Fast forward a few months when our good boiler developed a crack in the rear head and had to be replaced. The new head was two weeks out and would take 3 days to install and get inspection. Backup boiler could only be used for four hours at a time and someone had to watch it around the clock. Unnecessary waste of time and money not to mention dangers. When you see issues such as this most people blame maintenance staff but in reality it’s administration and bean counters whom are to blame.

This should be titled "Lazy School Board Rejects who can't do Anything"

School doesn’t have a bell? My school also doesn’t have bells, but we have working fire alarms.

shut this school down

This is the type of school that you’d expect to find in a wasteland. That’s still running with a collapsing government.

most dangerous school because the fire alarm doesn't work?

They probably pocketed that money and took it for themselves

The money that contractor took by not finishing the school is a crime. I want that money to go to the right people! Hunt that contractor down now! That is not fair to take from the government and get away with it!!

Incompetence, and complete misuse of funding... How do these fools get those jobs to begin with?

I feel so bad for those kids that have to deal with that

This sounds like the laziest school in America "we have been sitting here for 2 and a half years"

One thing that is fine is no school bells. They're all crap.

As a resident of New Mexico, I feel devastated that this is happening.

This school should be shut down.

Detroit schools: Hold my beer

What about the gym? -Wires sticking out How about the cafeteria? -Wires are disconnected In the maintenance shop? -Where is the fire alarm control box?

My Cherokee Grandmother was upset when I told her about this news report. Someone needs to do an audit on the School Boards spending. Especially since they don't want to tell anyone what they spent the money on.

The worst problem my school has is we have a small janitor shortage, so we had to close something like 5 unnecessary bathrooms to help the janitors a bit. I feel kind of spoiled to be in a school where every single shop room, science room, and hallway between buildings has a fire extinguisher, eye washers (not in halls), emergency showers (not in halls), and other emergency equipment around the school. I hope this school is better now.

This is a bunch of people that aren’t doing anything to help their situation, they disguise it like they are, they are only complaining about their situation. There is literally nothing wrong with the school other than the people running it. I watched the first half of this video in blank confusion because they described it as if there was someone coming in and sabotaging the school, but no. Just fix it

I live in New Mexico and really this isn't surprising at all. The Indian reservations are notoriously unorganized, and our state gives schools exactly 2 cents of budget every year. Albuquerque public schools is also insanely corrupt as instead of giving the departments in school money for paper (teachers/students have to buy their own paper and supplies basically ) they line their own pockets then cry about how bad the schools are. It's well known here but APS is so corrupt and has the money to shut down any case against them.

One Molotov cocktail would be the bane of that place

That school is so bad. It's considered illegal to even be there.

Wow, disgusting really. Send these official's to jail!

Blows my mind that there aren't any volunteer firemen.

Criminals in prison are safer than these kids.

I see the simpsons playing in the background from 0:00 to 0:20

0:15. Tv....Simsomps

Seminole High School in Seminole, Florida has no bells! It’s my senior year there, and it works great! They turn the bells off, and everyone knows exactly when to head to class! Sometimes I might be running a little behind, and I see no one in the halls! Everyone’s in class like they should be! Personally, in my opinion, they run the school better, if not perfectly, with no bells!

Most dangerous it’s just a fire alarm. I live in Chicago I my school we don’t even have lockers nor fire alarms wtf. And my school always on lockdown 😂

One of the things mentioned was the lack of bells. The #3 high school in America can't get their bells to work consistently, so I'm not surprised this school has no bells at all.

The town probably spends more on education per student than most upper class towns.

It's money over safety.

Ohhhh, it’s owned by the BIA. There not good with money or anything.

I've had friends tell me about reservations they lived in and honestly they sound pretty bad with no cops there's alot of drinking and alot of people being lazy, I've never been to one but I can imagine there's alot of good reservations as well.

Lol it's just the fire alarms. There are some schools with broken doors and tiles, ceilings about to collapse, random holes in the floor, missing ceiling tiles and so much more. And you guys are complaining about fire alarms?

Now, no one should complain about their district.

the fact the school is in a native American reservation isn't even suprising. we're always put last when it comes to safety

Superintendent looks to proud to be dangerous

0:46 "There's something wrong with this picture" Is it the class full of Hispanic children?

3 words close the school

My second elementary school had no bells or anything, but we got through just fine. All my other schools had bells (though with my high school, it was a time tone on the intercom, but you get the idea.) At least their fire alarm system was working when I went there, but if it fails (and since it's such an old system, that can happen soon) they will replace it with a new alarm system as quickly as possible. That happened with another one of my old schools when the original fire alarm system from the 70s failed.

I am 14, and I can professionally install a fire alarm system. These are trained professionals who don't know how to do anything. Pathetic. The little kid can do better than the professionals.

0:57 does that kid have 2 pairs of socks on?

This is what happens when you let private bodies contract work to do this, and they realise they can bounce with the profit before taking into any saftey concerns

I hate the words volunteer firefighter. Fucking pay those people.

Damn, it's so easy to fix! This is just pure lazyness.

he has a great mustache.

Sounds to me like the local school board ripped out the fire alarms to get sent more money and then embezzled it.

Honestly this seems like they need to sue the contractor. Seems like the majority of the issues came from the fact that whoever the contractor was did the bare minimum and even left without finishing what they started and even made conditions worse.

Karen took the kids he needed money to pay the child support

The students took off the fire alarms because it hurt their eardrums! 😂😂😂

I commend the superintendent for standing there and not acting like it's not a problem this is just the best way he can fix it This is a way to show what's wrong

the entire situation was explained when they said who owns the school

yep....there's schools worse then this.

Strawberry mansion is worse than this in Philadelphia in mount airy neighborhood

What doesn't make sense..... No volunteer firemen. Various tribes through the Southwest have been sending firefighters to battle wildfires in California and Oregon. They are tough, relentless, and dedicated to the task... oh, and very well paid. I was honored to fight fires with them in 1987 in Klamath National Forest. Great folks.... Not sure if Navajo have such, but I would think so.

Sounds like Steve Garcia is at the top of the list of people to blame. He's responsible for facilities but doesn't even know what happened to the fire alarm systems. Unless he just started working there last week, he's guilty of not stepping up and doing his job.

Come to florida lmao yall gon learn

Seems like there are 2 possible problems. 1. The contractor that was first hired to install the system left early or tried to pass off incompete work. 2. The school stopped paying said contractor before he was done, so he left.

Way to go native Americans, way to allocate them funds

I would be willing to bet that someone lined their pockets and that this work was contracted out to some scumbag contractor which charged insane rates which caused them to run out of money. I would also bet that the politician that was involved with the most likely no bid contract had received campaign donations from the same scumbag contractor that was awarded with the contract.

If that school was in U.K. it would’ve been shut down as soon as the fire alarm stopped working

No fire alarm everybody goes outrage😂

At my school we have to stand in a certain spot to wait for lunch, before you get near the teachers there is a black box on the wall. In that black box there are switches that control all electrical stuff and it’s always unlocked

So it’s a giant scam? Good job boys. Good job. Amazing!

4:25 Yea, yea, bells, but in my town the best pre/high -school doesn't have a bell and still, that is no problem, almost everyone wants to learn at it :P

My school just removed all the fire alarms lol. (We don't even have schoolbells, the metal parts were taken off) Our school is very small, so we just go by the clock. the bathrooms are... fine. The water fountains have a taste of pencil lead in them, but the school said the water was tested.

There's your answer. It's not under govt funding or state funding. And it's still legal because it's ON a Rez. A normal municipal fire marshal would shut that place down SO fast. But look at their fire dept! OMG

A school doesn’t have a fire alarm i am outraged , a whole country is starving to death it’s not our problem

Bruh how do you keep this running if I was a parent that went to this school I would rather have them homeschool it would cost more but it is better than a school without fire alarms a fire department and who knows what problems.

When I realized it was on the Navajo reservation I was like "oh that's why". 😂😂

Los Angeles schools: Hold my Beer.

Remind me of prison

New Mexico is as bad as the old one

I work on Fire Alarms and our company refuses to do federal contracts. Just not worth it. They have some idiot design the Fire Alarm that is not trained to do so. They also refuse to comply with local codes stating it is federal property and is exempt. Most of the time they refuse to pay for service contracts that perform the monthly inspections required by the NFPA. They will specify equipment you can only purchase from one source. If they specify an Edwards panel then only an Edwards dealer can install and maintain that equipment. The solution to that is to specify off the shelf equipment so any licensed Fire Alarm Contractor can work on and get parts for that equipment.

This could be fixed but it looks like everyone is waiting for someone else to do it. That superintendent had the power to do something, but he'ss too busy doing nothing

lol prison is more safe

So you are saying it’s the most dangerous just because it doesn’t have a fire alarm!? Try going to Detroit or mexico

I bet if you look at the officials paychecks and spending, it’ll show where all that money went. To lavish “conferences” (vacations), expensive and unnecessary eating out, shopping sprees, etc.

oh great heavens! thats a messy fire panel you gotta get that thing replaced, and get a full NOTIFIER fire system

ever heard about Syria and Palestin schools?

Dude with all the money the indains make on ther casinos im sure with one days earning they can fix it

Is not having a bell really a huge issue? At my high school, we don't have bells. We just have a bunch of digital clocks everywhere and the teachers just look at the time for when we are dismissed.

I would GLADLY take the fire alarm stuff! XD

what the natives do with the millions of dollars it receives from the federal government and state is their business. They want to be in charge of their own land but also want to be in charge of what they do with the money we give them. So this is what they do.

If it's an indian reservation, it's not the government's problem. Plain and simple.

At least they don't have to deal with false alarms ! 😂😂

Wth does the maintenance guy who was walking around with them do all day? this sounds like they were giving money to have things but they didnt take care of them and didnt use the resources properly, but dont want to own up or be accountable. The problems see to all be in house at this place.

No its not the most dangerous school

you can easily fix the fire alarm like come on..

Wow... Just wow. Shut the school down instead of paying for all the stuff that needs to be fixed.

Crossroads Alternative Education Learning Center (Crossroads) in AR. is actually really bad too.. people get in fights everyday, almost everyone had anger issues, & people get stabbed.. (It's a school for students who got expelled for really bad shit.. basically last stop before JDC) fr look it up some scary shit

form chad

EXPOSED !

I bet they have a well funded police department tho, with nice new cruisers, a fully geared swat team, and armoured vehicle

Volunteer Fire Department...meaning people from the Navajo nation need to actually volunteer to do it. No one will volunteer in a community far from their home...

America the greatest country in the world.NOT
