Repairs of the emergency roof are carried out to protect against Rain that is forecast on Wednesday But will soon be replaced by a completely new roof that he would expect in the next few days.
“The current fitness roof, which was more than 20 years old, was a fully smuggled membrand roof that was based on the adhesive to keep the roof membrane in place. The new roof will be a mechanically attached membrane roof,” said Kennedy.

In the gym, dehumidifiers are running to remove as much water as possible, and Kennedy said he would deliver updates for elementary families from Beach at the replacement of the gym flooring, which he could last for seven to eight weeks.
The destroyed gym that was destroyed is original for the school – older than 60 years. The building operator said it consists of 1-inch umbori pieces that are no longer manufactured. It is probably replaced by 1/2-inch maple.
Since the gym also served as a cafeteria for schoolchildren, the school works on a plan, while repairs to serve breakfast and lunch for children.
“Probably (IT) has to be a situation in which breakfast and lunch are served in the classroom, and we work with the fact that we have enough staff to achieve this and make sure that our teachers have duty -free lunches that they are entitled to, and the entire logistics it takes to serve hundreds and hundreds of students,” said Kennedy at News 8 Monday.
