Board approves emergency repairs at Edna McGuire after winter water intrusion; district to pursue insurance reimbursement
Summary
The board adopted a resolution authorizing emergency repairs at Edna McGuire following water‑intrusion incidents over winter break. The district estimates the immediate cost at roughly $350,000 and will seek insurance reimbursement; the resolution passed unanimously.
The Mill Valley School District Board of Trustees adopted a resolution approving emergency repairs at Edna McGuire Elementary after two water‑intrusion incidents over winter break.
Julio Bridal, the district's director of maintenance, operations and safety, told the board crews worked with vendors to mitigate damage and make classrooms safe and ready for students. Bridal said remediation included water extraction, removal of damaged carpeting and replacement in affected wings. The district expects to cover initial costs from the general fund and pursue insurance reimbursement; staff estimated total emergency costs at about $350,000.
Trustees voted to adopt the resolution by roll call; the meeting record shows a unanimous vote in favor. Board documents list the work as emergency repairs required to ensure safe occupancy and continuity of instruction.
Why it matters: The damage required immediate work to keep classrooms usable and avoid mold. The board approved expenditures above the typical purchase‑order threshold under an emergency authorization and directed staff to pursue insurance reimbursement and report back when claim status is known.
