A leaky roof over the junior high wing at the Springs School was an unforeseen addition to the construction projects ahead, brought to the attention of Michael Henery, the school business administrator, by recent weather, and discussed at Monday's school board work session.
Though the repair should take about two months, it would have to wait until summer, likely the first day that school is out because there may be asbestos to deal with, said Jim Weydig of BBS Architects, Landscape Architects, and Engineers, who is also overseeing planning for the school's new playground.
In the meantime, samples will be taken from the roof for testing, and a public hearing will be held with regard to funding. Even though the roof would be a replacement, it still falls under the category of projects that can be covered by repair reserve funds. Until then, Mr. Henery said, the school will continue patching the leaks, as it has been doing for many parts of the ceiling throughout the school.
