School Safety Report
On September 3, 1964 a Safety Survey Report was made of the Huntley Consolidated School by the firm of Bradley & Bradley, Inc. Copies of this report are available at tho school office for ;inv ono to viovv in full form. Below is a summary of the con¬ tents of the report:
The report states that there arc 426 children in 18 rooms in tlie first to eight grades and 154 in the High School. The means of egress are adequate by means of corridors and exit doors equipped with panic hardware. The stair¬ ways to th esecond story of the High School have open halls to first and second story corridors.
The fire alarm system is sub¬ standard, lacking fire detectors \ ., _..LiUiu OC dclded to lhe sys¬ tem.
The original building was erect¬ ed on 1 plot of approximately 20 acre.s. Tlie total ground floor area of the building is 55,000 squarl feet. The egress facilities for the grr.de school are well arrange nnd adequate. Panic hardware is properly installed and well main¬ tained. The corridors are of the proper width and well arranged. The windows are available as an emergency secondry means of es¬ cape from first story classrooms.
The stairway to the second story high school corridors from class¬ rooms are open to corridors of the first story. Smoke endosing par¬ titions with doors should be in¬ stalled to separate these two areas. No fire escapes are re¬ quired on this building, because of the construction.
The auditorium of tills school can seat 1100 people. The stage has no fly gallery or gridiron. The scenery and c\irt3iln are flame- probfed.
The boiler room is in the base¬ ment and is cut off from tlie rest  of the  building.
The following recommendations are intended to bring the School Building into full compliance with the minimum safety standards of the Building Specifications for Health and Safety in Public Schools:
1. The combustile accoustical tile ceiling of all classrooms, caf¬ eteria, and corridors woulfl be coated with a UL rated fire retard¬ ant paint.
2. Glass panels in doors to class¬ rooms should lie 7-32 cle.ar glass in p-^nels over 200 square inches and l"s.s than 600 square Inches.
3. Fire detectors should be in¬ stalled in all store romo, shop, kitchen, home economic rooms, laboratories, stage boiler room, gymnasium, cafeteria and library, to automatically , actuate the fire alarm system
4. Ehiergency lights should be provided in the corridors and gym¬ nasium fed from the emergency circuit of the normal power source in combination with an ai^roved auxiliary with an ai^roved auxil¬ iary power source.
5. The boiler should be provided with safety aquastat and safety valves as required by the Code.
6. A one hour fire wall with Class "B" doors should separate the building into two fi'^ nTv>s. less than 40,000 square feet Tht south door to gymnasium should be Class "B" fire door.
7. Fire partitions should be built at foot of the stairs of the High  School area.
The folowing cost estimate should be omuddered as prelim- inary and is intended to give a general picture of the funds re¬ quired to carry out the rec(Hnc- mended program only, and does not itKdude any other items of repair yMtki may be required to re^cie wtxn and dldBllpattd »»¦ tibntlMM «te ratta »
