West Elementary drain‑tile found damaged; district plans repair before school starts

Jefferson School District Board of Education · August 25, 2026

Summary

Administrators reported that a clay drain tile at West Elementary was damaged and will be replaced with a 24‑inch PVC pipe; work is expected to be finished by the first day of school, with some classroom disruption during repairs.

District administrators told the board they located a failure in a clay drain tile at West Elementary and will replace the damaged section with roughly a 24‑inch PVC pipe. The repair was described as isolated and necessary to prevent recurring flooding; administrators said they expect the work to be complete by the first day of school.

The district said the repair could cause some temporary disruption as teachers prepare classrooms, but the site will be partitioned for events such as open house. The board was told civil engineers and contractors are engaged to implement a longer‑term fix and that additional information will be returned to the board in a future report.
