And finally, the remodels are happening," said parent Diana Negrin, who has a 12-year-old daughter who attends Longfellow.

Over 500 Longfellow students will be moved for the next two years while the problem is addressed."I think there’s a lot of anxiety over that because we’d already been dealing with the pandemic.
