Water "Damage" at YHS

The YHS construction project got back on track Wednesday morning and it is ‘full steam ahead.’ All of the water has been dried up. The gym floor is in outstanding shape as only a small amount of water made it to one of the corners of the court. Our custodial staff and folks from ServiceMaster did an excellent job dealing with the clean-up on Tuesday. A few cabinets and a little bit of drywall might have to be replaced but even that is not a certainty at this time.

There continue to be wild rumors that are simply false. YHS was not "flooded." We had a couple of inches of water throughout about 1/3 of the building. All of the flooring was ripped out so the water was standing on concrete floors as our new flooring won't be installed for another few weeks.

All in all, the water made for an interesting and wasted day on Tuesday but that pretty much sums it up. We’re going to be just fine and school will begin on August 20th as was always the plan. We appreciate the York Police Department’s work as they investigate the situation.

If the intent of whoever did this was to cause mayhem and destruction, they failed miserably. We lost one day of construction time and had to clean up some water. Not a huge deal.

Go Dukes!
