Students at Woodland Elementary School will be in class in the building on regular schedules today.
Hardin County Schools canceled school at Woodland Elementary Friday after structural damage stemming from heating and cooling system improvements made during the summer were discovered, and the district had planned for non-traditional instruction for students Monday. Engineering and construction crews, however, worked over the weekend to keep the building safe for normal operations, and in a video posted by the district to YouTube HCS Superintendent Terry Morgan says they have gotten the “OK” for students and staff to return to the building.
“Our engineer has said that the building is safe, and the state inspector has come through over the weekend to also say that the building is safe for our students and staff to occupy the building,” Morgan said.
In the video, Morgan shows some of the work that was done to stabilize the building.
“We have what they call scaffolding posts, and those are reinforcing just to ensure the integrity of the building,” Morgan said.
School will be in session at all Hardin County Schools Monday.
