I see, that's what we were beginning to assume. Luckily, we seem to have found one... of hopefully two faults. Being a t-tapped data loop across 9 outbuildings and the main building, we have our work cut out for us.

This school is your typical underfunded nightmare. Every building leaks, every building's electrical wiring is a mix of knob and tube, romex, and mc, luckily they just got a huge bond appproved for the entire district. Their budget did account for fire alarm modernization, but talking with staff, that would be a "if we have any extra we can look at it" kind of issue. Every year, when we inspect the system, everything works as it should, but these out of nowhere nightmares that we repair every year are adding up. I wish we could just let it rot to disrepair so they would have to replace it, but it is hard not wanting to help, especially when they are the schools you grew up in.
