Middle school water incident caused tile and grout damage; drywall and carpet spared
Summary
Two inches of water entered the middle‑school cafeteria and adjacent hallway; district staff contained the water and will perform spot tile and grout repairs and consider longer‑term fixes such as polished concrete or epoxy flake. Insurance deductible ($100,000) exceeds expected repair costs.
Dr. Myers reported a water intrusion at the middle school that produced roughly two inches of standing water in the cafeteria area and adjacent hallway. He told the board there was "no drywall damage or carpet damage," crediting quick action by maintenance staff for limiting damage.
District staff said the damage is localized to tile grout along expansion seams and some individual tiles that popped; spot tile replacement is underway. Because the district’s new insurance deductible is $100,000, staff expect repair costs on this incident to fall well below the deductible and are evaluating long‑term surfacing alternatives — including replacement tile, polished concrete and an epoxy flake finish used at the concession stand.
