Hurricane Irma Recovery School Update (2017-09-13)

Dear Families,

As of today, September 13 at 4:30 p.m., here is our status:

• Power to the school continues to be disrupted by a downed power line. The New Raman Reti Temple also remains without electricity.

• The phone lines that our fire alarm system uses to communicate are also out of service.

• Some staff continue deal with personal power/water outages and damage to property.

Due to these conditions and to give time to investigate and implement remedies to the issues that continue to impact our school, we will remain closed throughout this week.

We are making every endeavor to re-open as soon as possible. We are working with the Department of Children and Families, the Early Learning Coalition, and Alachua County Fire to determine what we are allowed to do to provide a safe environment for students to return.

We will continue to keep you updated as we have new information to share. Your patience and support through a very difficult time for many has been greatly appreciated.

Yours in service,

Visvambhara Dasa
