Board hears intruder‑detection audit and roofing update after heavy rains; staff report repairs under way
Loading...
Summary
District staff reported that a March 17 intruder‑detection audit found one exterior classroom door with a broken latch at the freshman campus; work orders were submitted and corrected. Facilities staff also reported roofing progress at Del Rio High School and localized flooding after recent storms; pump failures and ceiling‑tile damage were discussed and repair work orders are in progress.
District safety and facilities staff briefed the San Felipe‑Del Rio CISD board on a recent intruder‑detection audit and ongoing roofing and flood‑response work.
A safety chief reported that an exterior classroom door at the Del Rio Freshman campus had a latch that failed to engage though the door was closed and appeared locked; a work order was submitted and the issue has been corrected. "When I spoke to the auditor, he said that he believes that the little latching mechanism that slides into the actual door didn't engage because the door itself was locked and the door was closed," the chief said. The district will submit a 60‑day corrective‑action report and present findings to the safety‑audit committee.
On construction, facilities staff said roofing work at Del Rio High School is progressing unevenly by building wing: the 800 wing is about 95% complete, the 900 and 1,300 wings around 60% complete, the 1,100 wing about 90% complete and the 1,000 wing not yet started because of testing requirements. Weather and material availability have slowed progress; the facilities director said if weather clears the high‑school work could be substantially complete by early May.
Board members raised concerns about recent heavy rains, localized pump failures at the freshman campus and ceiling‑tile damage at several campuses. Facilities staff said one pump that evacuates water outside wing C at the freshman campus failed, allowing water intrusion through door thresholds; maintenance is scheduling repairs and additional work to mitigate future flooding.
The board requested follow‑up reporting during the next safety committee audit and confirmation that corrective actions have been completed.
