In a recent government meeting, the board approved a motion to address ongoing flooding issues at New Prospect Elementary School, following a series of heavy rain events that have impacted the facility. The discussions highlighted a specific classroom that has experienced flooding for the second time, prompting concerns from staff and administration.

The board recognized the situation as an emergency, particularly after discovering that a pipe leading from a water catchment tank had collapsed, exacerbating the flooding problem. The board unanimously approved a motion to engage Evers Construction to undertake necessary repairs to resolve the drainage issues.

Efforts are also underway to address potential flooding concerns related to the construction of a walkway connecting the gym to the older building. Board members expressed their commitment to ensuring that these issues are resolved promptly, with hopes that repairs can be completed before the next rainy season.

The principal and affected teacher have been kept informed about the situation, with measures taken to document the damage for potential insurance claims. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, marking a proactive step towards improving conditions at the school.
