    A town in New Jersey is a asking for a better school to send their children to. The conditions in which this school is currently in are unsafe and unsanitary. Such conditions include electrical issues, rats running around and mold growth.

    The SDA's chief executive officer Charles McKenna retorted, "That is not an SDA problem."

    "If we had new schools, it wouldn't be a problem," Hodges replied.

    This stood out the most to me. The passing of blame or responsibility. I could not imagine sending my child to a school in that condition, but for a lot of people, there is no choice. I wonder if they worry about a lawsuit if someone is bitten by a rat or if there is an electrical fire? The whole situation sounds like a safety nightmare.
