SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approval of District-Wide Comprehensive Safety Inspections Annual Report.



EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The State Fire Marshal mandates that an annual comprehensive fire safety, casualty, and sanitation inspection be conducted at facilities under the jurisdiction of the School Board. Two hundred twenty-nine inspections were conducted during the 2004-2005 school year. The completed inspections are available for review at the District Safety Office, and a copy will be forwarded to the State Fire Marshal’s Office as required by Florida Statue 1013.12. Deficiencies that posed an imminently dangerous condition were immediately reported by the fire safety inspector for priority correction. Each deficiency in this category was expedited upon receipt and resolved--none remain at this time. The consolidated inspection report is attached.
