Actually, I hadn't really even thought much about it until it was brought up in the staff meeting. I was just trying to get any other ideas. As you'll see in my second post, they're furnishing what's needed but the faculty is expected to do what's necessary themselves. >But in reality, do you really think that is going to be necessary? This time, I really don't. Unless it turns into a monster like Katrina did. But still the preparations will still be known when/if one ever does hit us. I'm glad the "bosses" are taking the initiative in this. >I'm not saying that the pianos might be not be damaged, but in my >opinion, that is not part of your job description.
