Data from the Virginia Department of Education revealed less than 40% of all Richmond Public Schools (RPS) students passed in writing, science, history and math this past year.
Just ten days before a catastrophic fire destroyed William Fox Elementary School, the school's principal Daniella Jacobs submitted a work order to have the fire alarm repaired because it had three error messages that required her to "silence the alarms".
Richmond Public Schools still haven't verified if alarm systems in every school are working properly nearly two weeks after a catastrophic fire at William Fox Elementary School in the Fan.
