Jerry Unwin, maintenance worker at Pied Piper School in Alpena, on Friday explains damage caused to the school’s building by a buildup of roof ice over the winter. Much of the ice has melted in recent days, Unwin said.
ALPENA–Alpena-Montmorency-Alcona Educational Service District officials during a facility committee meeting on Thursday expressed frustration over leaks in their newly installed roof at Pied Piper School.
The AMA ESD spent a little over $94,200 from its special education fund balance for its leaky roof to be replaced as part of facility upgrades to the school. While the previous leak appears to be fixed, educational service district officials suspect the new leak stems from the old problem.
