Why aren't Oakland Schools receiving annual inspections? Or adhering to fire codes related to occupancy?
Edward Gervasoni, an Oakland Fire Department inspector, visited the school last month in response to a citizen complaint. He said Lacy Jr. told him the school had 23 students but fluctuates up to 40. Gervasoni observed 15 to 20 students, he said, and determined that the fire code would allow no more than 58 people for all of the classrooms combined.
