School districts across Houston area damaged after winter storm
Tags:
HOUSTON – Busted pipes from winter weather are not just impacting homes, but school districts across Southeast Texas.
Dozens of campuses in many districts have suffered some type of damage. Maintenance crews in many of those districts are working overtime to access the damage and begin the cleanup process.
Katy Independent School District is reporting that 75% of its buildings suffered some kind of damage following this week’s sub-freezing temperatures, including Schmalz Elementary. A pipe burst in a closet in one of the music classrooms, sending water gushing onto the floor, flooding at least two classrooms leaving crews no choice but to rip up the carpet and tear out some of the sheetrock.
