When the school board held its first meeting in the new bus shop and administration building Tuesday, it was to discuss repairs to an old building, specifically the roof on the elementary school which sprung six leaks during the past year.
The board received a presentation from Kenneth P. Harris, regional sales manager for T.R. Davis, Inc., an industrial roofing and waterproofing company based in Lancaster, Pa. and Richmond, Va.

While Harris said the workmanship was fine, the roofs condition is “now beyond a maintenance project.”
