After a Saturday morning special board meeting of USD 386 Madison/Virgil, it is anticipated that work will begin in the next month on repairs to damage caused by severe storms which damaged Madison High School this month.
A-Lert Roof & Building Systems of Erie was chosen by the Board to replace the gym roof at the school, according to Tammy Baird. Baird said that the removal of remnants from the old roof should start the week of Sept. 18 and the roof replacement will begin in Oct.
Baird does not expect the construction to have any more impact on the school calendar, aside from the disruption of physical education due to damage.
Project completion is estimated to cost $320,000 to $510,000. The district will be responsible for $25,000. Insurance covers the rest. Baird said that the price is not yet known, but she anticipates the final cost to be around $500,000, with the district paying $25,000 and insurance covering the rest.
The high winds of a storm system which swept through the region on August 5, peeled off half the roof of an existing building and folded it over itself. Damage did not affect the beginning of the new school year, which started on schedule.
The main gym has been temporarily re-located to the second gym while the project of replacing the roof is completed. Baird said that there was no specific timeline as to when the project would be completed, but she hopes it will be done before the end of this semester.
