Broken Pipe Leads to Venue Change for School Board Meeting

A failed pipe fitting in the district's round building left walls damp and prompted the relocation of Tuesday's regular school board meeting.

The 7 p.m. meeting will be held in the multipurpose room at as the walls in the board room continue to dry out, said Assistant Superintendent Mike Leininger.

"[Water] ran all weekend and, as a result, we had to bring in a company to dry out the walls. Water also got into the basement where our mechanicals are, and we have to change out some equipment,'' Leininger wrote in an email to Patch.

Although the leak occurred last week, officials weren't sure if the room would be ready by tonight's meeting, so they relocated it. Leininger did not yet have a cost estimate for damage repair, he said.

You may find tonight's agenda attached to the right. Some of the prorposed action items include:

• Approve needed revisions to the adopted budget
• Review of current budgetary scnarios for 2011-12 and furture years
• A discussion on school site surveys
• A discussion on teacher buy-back days, work days and collaboration days
