Burgard Alumni Are Fed Up, and They're Saying It Loudly
Graduates of Burgard High School are calling out Buffalo Public Schools for letting the building fall apart while students try to learn inside it.
Burgard High School alumni have had enough. The East Side school's graduates are publicly demanding that Buffalo Public Schools stop ignoring the building's deteriorating condition and actually do something about it.
The list of problems isn't subtle: broken bathrooms, holes in the ceilings, classroom clocks frozen in place. Alumni are making the argument that students at Burgard deserve the same standard of facilities as kids in other parts of the district โ not second-class conditions that have been allowed to pile up for years.
This is part of a broader conversation that keeps resurfacing in Buffalo about which schools get resources and which ones get overlooked. The pressure is now firmly on the school board to stop talking about the problem and start spending on solutions at East Delavan Avenue.
