ARLINGTON, Texas — Maintenance crews are assessing damages at 21 Arlington ISD schools and two administration buildings, caused by the winter storm.
The district provided video of burst pipes at Nichols Jr. High and flooded floors at one of its administration buildings Thursday.
“They’ve been working day and night, to assess to protect, to start the cleanup process,” Arlington ISD Superintendent Dr. Marcelo Cavazos said. “A lot of it is flooding and pipes bursting.”
The number one priority is to provide students with a safe learning environment, Cavazos said. Whatever that takes, however long it takes, and whatever form that takes has yet to be decided.
