This is where there was a Civil Service exam last week. DCAS had people waiting in the hot sun for 2 hours. good times. Now there will be another exam this weekend all around the city and what kind of fly by night operation will Civil Service plan since this particular school had no ac, was not handicap accessible.
This is bullshit. Totally handicapped accessible and all the rooms are air conditioned. You people come in, write on the desks, leave a message and take things that don’t belong to you. Clean up your act and flush the toilet.
What a complete lie. I’m a student at this highschool, it is handicap accessible theres a ramp & a working elevator. ALL rooms have a working A/C except for one. You guys leave a god damn mess, everytime you guys use our classrooms.
