(New Brighton, Pa) The New Brighton School Board addressed roof leaks at their board meeting Monday evening. Beaver County Radio asked the board about a recent Facebook post that circulated showing multiple leaks in the locker area of the high school.
Superintendant Dr. Joseph Gaurino relayed that the district contacted roofers immediately after realizing there was an issue and also notified parents with an email. The leaks started during the harsh winter weather the area experienced in February.
Gaurino says the roof is still under warranty and work is set to take place once the roofers determine weather conditions are appropriate to do so. The current roof was installed over 20 years ago.
Currently, ceiling tiles have been removed in the bad spots and buckets are being used to catch the leaks.
Also at the meeting, the district approved intial readings for policy changes regarding discrimination and harassment as well as pregnant, parenting, and married students. Certain policies are being removed.
The changes are being made to ensure the district complies with recent mandates made by the White House.
