Narragansett Regional School District seeks nearly $12.9 million for extensive roof repairs
Summary
TCTV reported that the Narragansett Regional School District is seeking nearly $12,900,000 for roof repairs after leaks were found at multiple locations and concerns about how flashing was installed.
The Narragansett Regional School District is seeking nearly $12,900,000 for roof repairs after an inspection found multiple leaks and construction defects, TCTV reported.
According to the report, leaking has been identified at about 35 locations in the building and inspectors listed five major issues. A speaker who described the inspection said the flashing installation was faulty, in some places directing water back into the roof assembly rather than away from it. The speaker said that faulty flashing and multiple roof elevations have caused moisture buildup and insulation failure.
The TCTV segment did not identify the speaker by name or title; the speaker provided technical descriptions of the roof failures. The segment also did not include details about the funding source the district would use to pay for the repairs nor whether a formal appropriation request had been filed with member towns.
The nearly $12.9 million figure and the inspection descriptions were reported on TCTV; additional documentation or official school-district communications should be consulted for full specifications, timelines and funding plans.
