School let kids into danger zones

They were right to worry.

Leery parents at a Queens school that reopened this week for the first time since being damaged by Hurricane Sandy were told last night that their kids had spent two days in areas that were supposed to be off-limits.

Department of Education officials told parents at an emergency meeting yesterday at PS 114 in Belle Harbor that their kids sat in an auditorium that should have been cordoned off because of ongoing construction.

It was closed off only last night.

Parents had been complaining of residual sewage being pumped through unclean vents and pointed to bubbling paint on the walls and mud caked onto the bolts of the dusty auditorium seats.

“They just rushed the opening,” said Jean Belford, who has yet to allow her daughter, first-grader Lilly, to return to school.

DOE officials said air- quality tests had shown the school was safe.

Meanwhile, sources said looters ripped off thousands of dollars worth of equipment from at least 11 storm-ravaged schools.
