Eighth-grader says Towson Middle School needs replacement, cites 'sewage' smell and broken desks
Amelie Blaustein, an eighth-grader at Towson Middle School, told meeting attendees that the school needs a new building because floors are cracked and uneven, bathrooms frequently smell like sewage and science lab desks are in disrepair.

Blaustein said, "we need a new middle school. The floors are bumpy and cracked, and you'll pass by the bathrooms, and it just smells like sewage for no reason. Like, once or twice a week, the lab desks are held together by duct tape, and there's, like, legs missing." The transcript records these remarks but does not include any recorded response from officials or a subsequent motion or vote on the matter.

The comments raise health and safety concerns for students and staff but the transcript does not identify any follow-up steps, funding sources, inspections, or timelines. Enrollment figures, specific maintenance records and whether the district has scheduled facilities assessments were not specified in the recorded remarks.

No formal action, motion, or vote on school facilities appears in the transcript.
