Board hears rising reports of roof leaks; members discuss bidding for repairs
Summary
Board members described increasing roof leaks across Scobey K-12 Schools — noting leaks in the commons, above the kitchen entryway, and elsewhere — and discussed collecting cost estimates and starting a bid process for repairs, citing a 40-year-old gym roof as a priority.
Chair (S1) told the board "there's more and more water holes coming out of this roof," saying he had recently seen fresh leaks and that the problem has recurred despite prior repairs.
S1 identified specific areas with leaks — the commons, the entryway to the food service area/kitchen and other locations farther back in the building — and warned the board that they will need estimates and will likely have to start a competitive bid process when weather improves. S1 said he would "probably call mister Theo" to assist once conditions allow.
Committee member (S2) said he and another member met with facilities staff and reported the old gym roof "could last 5 more years" but noted it is a "40 year old roof that's next," indicating the gym roof will likely require more substantial work in the near term.
Why it matters: recurring leaks can damage facilities and disrupt programming; the board signaled intent to gather costs and pursue formal procurement rather than continuing piecemeal patches.
