Willow Dale Buzzer Watch Begins

How long will it take for the intercom system to get installed at Willow Dale Elementary school?

At the March 7 Centennial Operations Committee meeting, Ryan Brennan, the manager of the Willow Dale project, said that the outdoor buzzer would be installed within the next week (it's about six minutes into the video here). As of March 22, the buzzer and intercom have yet to be installed and activated.

, visitors of the school had no way to communicate to the office receptionists that they would like to enter the building, except to either bang on the door loudly or frantically wave their hands at the windows.

According to a comment made by Dee Runion on a Facebook post about the topic, "The secretaries feel awful and hate making people wait because they can't see them immediately. Especially the parents that get very upset for being made to wait and yell at the secretaries that have nothing to do with the lack of a buzzer. The secretaries ask daily for it."

Michelle Myers replied on the thread that it is "unfortunate the secretaries are receiving the hostilities for something that is not their fault. The secretaries work diligently, and I feel for them if they are dealing with something that is out of their control."

Starting from March 22, we are going to keep a an eye on how long it takes before the buzzer and intercom is installed. Would anybody like to take an over/under guess to how high the days will tick by?
