Handwritten Notes: FAA Responsibility and Community Complaints Regarding Airline Safety and School Building Use

A community member raises questions about who should accept responsibility for airport-related concerns — the Port of Seattle, King County, the FAA, or local residents who helped plan the N.S.I.P. — noting that the FAA is responsible for safe aircraft use but that following its guidelines could avert greater tragedy in the event of an airline mishap. A separate complaint is also filed against the Highline Public School District regarding the conversion of Boulevard Elementary School and Seaer High School into non-educational facilities, with the writer citing code violations and lack of concern for impact on adjacent neighborhoods.

Notes

Handwritten notes raising questions about who will accept responsibility — the Port of Seattle (P.O.S.), King County, FAA, or community residents who helped plan the N.S.S.P. plan. Quotes FAA guidelines stating that if an airline mishap occurred, a greater tragedy could be averted by following FAA guidelines, noting the FAA is responsible for safe aircraft use. Second page contains a complaint filed against the Highline Public School District regarding the lease of Boulevard Elementary School (S 128th, Seattle) — changed from public school to warehouse — and Sealth High School (So 142nd) — changed from high school to ‘State Criminal Justice Training Center.’ Writer notes awareness of other violations by school district regarding leasing ‘closed schools’ to outside parties, and states that while use of said buildings may not be objectionable, violation of code regulations and lack of concern for impact on adjacent neighborhoods is inexcusable.
