The thing that keeps Palm Beach County Schools Superintendent Robert Avossa up at night

Andrew Marra has this sobering news about PBC's public school system:
     Palm Beach County Schools Superintendent Robert Avossa has plenty to worry about as he finishes up his first month on the job.
     But the thing that he says keeps him up at night? The county school system’s decaying infrastructure.
     “I would argue that it’s almost a crisis,” he told The Post’s Editorial Board Thursday.
     It’s no secret that the county’s public schools are suffering from breakdowns, decay and poor maintenance.
     The problem, school administrators say, is a perennial shortfall in the school district’s budget for construction and maintenance.
