Description
A long, two-story brick elementary school building with many windows is enclosed by a chain-link fence. Two prominent “DANGER KEEP OUT” signs are posted on the fence. The area around the building is overgrown with tall grass and weeds, and a dirt road runs along the front. A wooden utility pole and sidewalk are visible in the foreground, and the sky is clear with bright daylight.
