Pueblo District 60 school board votes for emergency closure of Carlile Elementary School
PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) -- The Pueblo District 60 school board unanimously voted yes on the emergency closure of Carlile Elementary School.
The board said millions of dollars worth of repairs needed to make the school safe led to the decision to close the school.
During a 2 p.m. meeting on Thursday, the school board was presented with a report on roofing damage caused by recent rainstorms. Robert Lawson, Executive Director of Facilities and Construction Management, said many areas of the tiled roof had become dislodged, wood boards had been damaged by water, and mold was growing in some areas.
